Simple & Compound Sentences

Here are 7 compound sentences using each conjunction from FANBOYS and civil engineering terms: For: Concrete needs aggregates for strength and durability. And: Reinforced concrete uses steel bars and cement to increase tensile strength. Nor: Steel beams cannot support heavy loads alone nor can concrete withstand tension forces by itself. But: Asphalt is cheaper to install but concrete has greater longevity. Or: Contractors can use precast concrete elements or pour concrete on site. Yet: Bridges must withstand dynamic loads from vehicles yet remain stable during earthquakes. So: Foundations transfer building loads to the ground soil so deep foundations are used for soft soils.

Simple sentence is a sentence with only one
independent clause (also known as a main clause) and no
dependent clause. The formula is only one IC + no DC

Example:
- The Suramadu Bridge construction costed around 4.5
trillion rupiahs.
- Waskita Karya looks for new recruitments.
- Jasa Marga operates and maintains Jagorawi toll road.
The Suramadu Bridge construction costed around
S P
4.5 trillion rupiahs.

which contains one subject and one predicate.
The predicate is a verb.
Waskita Karya looks for new recruitments at the
S P
moment.

which contains one subject and one predicate. The
predicate is a Compound Verb that consists two

• A compound sentence contains two logically
related simple sentences that are joined together
by using:
 a coordinating conjunction
 a semicolon (;)
• Therefore, there are two complete sentences, with
subjects and verbs on each side of the “connector”
Sentence + “connector” + Sentence

Formula : 2 or more IC + No DC
• Making two simple sentences into one compound sentence by
using a comma after the first sentence, followed by a
coordinating conjunction and the second sentence.
