A compound sentence contains two or more independent clauses and does not include any subordinate clauses. For example, "I wanted to go for a walk, but it started to rain." Each clause can stand alone as a complete sentence, making the structure simple yet effective in conveying multiple ideas.
It can't be a run-on. It's a single independent clause. Sentences can have 2 independent clauses or subordinate clauses too.
A complex sentence has an independent clause and one or more dependent clauses. A compound sentence has 2 or more independent clauses. A compound-complex sentence has two or more independent clauses and one or more dependent clauses.
In order to be "compound," a sentence must have more than one independent clause. So a sentence with 2 or more independent clauses is a compound sentence.
Four ways to subordinate an idea include using 1. adverb clauses 2. adjective clauses 3. phrase 4. appositive
1. adjective clauses 2. phrases 3. appositives 4. adverb clauses
A compound sentence has 2 or more coordinate independent clauses. A complex sentence is made from a dependent and independent clauses joined together.
Yes. two independent clauses can be joined by a conjunction.
In a sentence independent clauses are those which are independent of one another. Look at the example: he is an active boy but his brother is very lazy. here two clauses 1.he is an active boy 2.his brother is very lazy are combining with one another both clauses are independent of one another
A compound sentence is formed by joining two or more independent clauses with a semicolon, a comma, and an independent marker.
The simplest sentence consists of only a subject and a predicate (a noun and a verb) and is only one clause."Scott ran." is an example of such a sentence. It has one noun (Scott), one verb (ran), and is an independent clause (it stands alone as a sentence).A slightly more complex sentence can have two clauses as is evidenced by the following modification to the earlier example:"Scott ran, and he made it in time." The original sentence now contains two clauses (an independent one and a subordinate one).In general, though, "simple sentence" usually refers to a sentence with only one clause.
Compound-Complex sentence
You join 2 independent clauses together with a conjunction.
