Compound Sentences!!

A compound sentence is a sentence that contains two complete ideas (called

clauses) that are related.

These two clauses are usually connected in a compound

sentence by a conjunction.

F.A.N.B.O.Y.S.

  • For
  • And
  • Nor
  • But
  • Or
  • Yet
  • So

Examples:

Beyonce is a great singer. I think Rhianna is better.

Beyonce is a great singer, but i think Rhianna is better.

James didn't like Chris Brown. He didn't go to the concert.

James didn't like Chris Brown,

so he didn't go to the concert.

Tuesday I watched the Denver Nuggets win. The Los Angeles Lakers lost.

Tuesday, I watched the Denver Nuggets win, but the Los Angeles Lakers Lost.

Now you make up five compound sentences.

Remember:

  • You must start with two complete clauses.
  • Join the clauses using a conjunction. (F.A.N.B.O.Y.S.)
  • Insert a comma before the conjunction.
