 COMPOUND SENTENCE

• A compound sentence is a sentence composed of two

independent clauses and connected to one another with a
coordinating conjunction.

Note: “Independent Clause” is

another word for a sentence.
 ▪ DO YOU KNOW FANBOYS?
- What do they do?

The FANBOYS are called “coordinating conjunctions” because they

connect words, phrases and independent clause .

CONJUNCTION MEANING
For Show cause
And Provides more information
Nor Show a double negative
But Shows contrast
Or Demonstrates an option
Yet Despite something
SO Shows effect (result)

What Is a Complex Sentence? +5

A complex sentence is a sentence that contains one independent

and at least one dependent clause (sometimes called a
subordinate clause). An independent clause is a phrase that would
make sense if it were a sentence on its own, whereas a dependent
clause will not form a sentence on its own. When these two types of
clauses appear in a sentence, we create a complex sentence.
+3
 EXAMPLE

•I like to eat the candy before I watch a movie.

“I like to eat the candy” is an independent clause as it would

make a complete sentence on its own. “Before I watch a
movie” is a dependent clause, as it doesn’t make a complete
sentence on its own. It is ‘dependent’ on the first clause for the -
phrase to make sense.
 OTHER EXAMPLES

● Because he was late again, he would be docked a day’s pay.

● While I am a passionate basketball fan, I prefer football.

● Having a party is a bad idea because the neighbors will

complain.
● I am extremely happy since I retired.

Dependent Clause + Independent Clause (comma splits the clause)

Independent Clause + Dependent Clause (comma usually does not split the clause)

 What is Subordinate Clause?

A subordinate clause, also known as a dependent

clause, is a combination of words that includes
a noun, a verb, a subordinating conjunction or
a relative pronoun, other parts of
speech and determiners.
 Types of Subordinate
Clause
❖ Adjective Clause- dependent clauses that give
information about nouns

❖ Adverb Clause- describes or modifies a verb,

adjective, or another adverb

❖-2 Noun Clause- dependent clause; it is a+clause used

as ​the Subject or the Object​ of a verb
1. ADJECTIVE CLAUSE

Examples:
This is the house that Jack built.
He has stolen the purse.
2. ADVERB CLAUSE

Examples:
I washed the dishes after I ate breakfast.
Even if I take the train, I still might be late to my

 COMPOUND-COMPLEX SENTENCE

• It contains two or more independent clauses and one or

more dependent (subordinate) clause.
Example:
S V S V V S V
Before I was afflicted, I went astray, but now have I kept
your word.
one (1) dependent clause and two (2) independent clauses= compound- complex
sentence
 S V S V
He gives not best who gives most, but
he gives most who gives best.
S V S V
two (2) independent clauses and two (2) dependent
clauses= compound-complex sentence
S V S V
(You) Smite a scorner, and the simple will beware, and
(you) reprove one that hath understanding, and he
S V S V S
will understand knowledge.
V
four (4) independent clauses and one (1) dependent
clause= compound-complex sentence
 Dependent Clauses are introduced by relative pronouns
or by subordinating conjunctions.
SC
S V S V ❑ Examples of
Where no oxen are, the crib is relative pronouns:
clean, but much increase is by the Who, whom, whose,
strength of the ox. S V which, that
Coord.
Conj. ❑ Examples of subordinating conjunctions:
one (1) dependent clause and After, although, as, as if, because, before, if,
two (2) independent clauses= since, so that, unless, until, when,
compound-complex sentence +
whenever, where, wherever, 1 while, though,
than, etc.
 Independent clauses are joined by a comma (,) and a
coordinating conjunction
❑ Examples of coordinating conjunctions:
FANBOYS – for, and, but, or, yet, so

S V S
Lying lips are an abomination to the Lord, but they
that deal truly are His delight. Coord.
S V V Conj.

one (1) dependent clause and two (2) independent clauses

= compound-complex sentence
 Independent clauses are joined by a semicolon(;).

S V S
Faith is the root of all good works; a root
that produces nothing is dead.
S V V
One (1) dependent clause and two (2)
independent clauses= compound-complex
sentence
❑ Note:
It is two or more independent clauses that make any sentence compound. It is
one or more dependent clauses that make any sentence complex.
When you have both of the above, you have a compound-complex sentence.
 Activity 4!
Draw a box around each dependent clause. Circle the comma
and coordinating conjunction or semicolon that joins
independent clauses. Then, underline the subject once and the
verb twice in each independent clause.
1. Men are better when they are old; things are better
when they are young.

2. The house was ruined, and the trees turned bare

when the storm struck the area.
3.While waiting for the school service, Jane played games on
her phone, and Carla read a book.

4. Wisdom is before him that hath understanding, but the eyes

of a fool are in the ends of the earth.

5. A great man is great until he discovers it; then he is a

danger and a nuisance.
