A compound sentence ir normally separated by the word "and" or "because", and a comma. If you can break the sentence in to 2 different parts and they are both complete sentences (meaning they both have a subject and an action) then it is a compound sentence.

To put it more simply, a compound sentence is 2 complete sentences combined in to one whole sentence, separated by a comma.

What is the plural form of the sentence you are one of my best friends?

A sentence does not have a plural form. A sentence can be a compound sentence; two independent clauses, usually joined by a conjunction. Your sentence has one plural noun, 'friends'; the pronoun 'you' can be singular or plural but we know that it is singular because it says 'you are one of'. The only way to make the subject pronoun 'you' into a plural is to drop the words 'one of', making the sentence: You are my friends.


What type of conjunction is the bolded phrase the judge listened to the explanation in order that he might decide fairly?

You didn't bold the phrase, nor make it clear where phrase-containing sentence began, so you're lucky I know that you are trying to cheat on NovaNet, which is where the question came from, and that the sentence itself is "The judge listened to the explanation in order that he might decide fairly." and the bolded in that sentence is "in order that", which is a subordinating conjunction. But remember that cheating doesn't help you learn what you didn't know or probably should know or need to know. Go learn something, now. :) -JoshuaP


Is you have driven in the desert an interrupted verb phrase?

"Is you have driven in the desert?" is an example of bad English. The correct sentence would read, "Have you driven in the desert?" That is the proper way of phrasing a question in English. It is a compound verb. The verb phrase is have driven, is a compound verb which is interrupted by the word "you." So in its correct form, yes it is an interrupted verb phrase. A question in English begins with a verb. Foreigners are confused by the use of the verb "do" in English. When there is a question but the verb is not compound, English uses the verb "do" when the sentence must begin with a verb. Instead of saying, "Know you him?" English says, "Do you know him?" In that case the term "do" is meaningless. It simply allows the sentence to start with a verb.
