Compound Sentences and Complex Sentences
Compound Sentences
Compound sentences are made of two closely related independent clauses joined by a comma and a coordinating conjunction such as for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so (also known as “fanboys”) or by a semicolon (;).
Examples.
Complex Sentences
A complex sentence is a sentence made up of an independent clause and a dependent clause. A dependent clause must be joined with an independent clause to make sense. A dependent clause often begins with a subordinating conjunction such as although, because, if, as, or when.
