A compound sentence is when you combine two or more independent clauses, each of which provides a complete and separate thought. The clauses are joined to each other by conjunctions, or a semicolon.

We use coordinating or subordinating conjunctions to connect the sentences. The seven coordinating conjunctions are usually used with a comma, and their initials spell the mnemonic "fanboys."

Coordinating conjunctions

  • for
  • and
  • nor
  • but
  • or
  • yet
  • so
Subordinating conjunctions
  • after
  • although
  • as
  • as if
  • as long as
  • as though
  • because
  • before
  • even if
  • even though
  • if
  • if only
  • in order that
  • now that
  • once
  • rather than
  • since
  • so that
  • than
  • that
  • though
  • till
  • unless
  • until
  • when
  • whenever
  • where
  • whereas
  • wherever
  • while
