 Let’s Practice

•A compound sentence is a sentence made up

of two independent clauses ( or complete
sentences) connected to one another with a
coordinating conjunction. Coordinating
conjunctions are easy to remember if you
remember the words “FANBOYS” for, and nor,
but, or, yet, so.
Sample Compound Sentence:
Daryl looked for Rosel and Nati at the MRT
station,but they arrived at the station before noon.
Rosel and Nati left before Daryl arrived so he
did not see them at the MRT station.
 Let’s Practice
A complex sentence is made up of an
independent clause and one or more
dependent clauses connected to it.
Dependent clauses begin with
subordinating conjunctions: after,although, as
because,before,even
though,if,since,though,unless,until,when.whe
never,whereas,wherever, and while.
When the dependent clause comes first,a
comma should be used to separate the two
clauses.
 Let’s Practice
1.Because Rosel and Nati arrived at
the MRT station before noon, Daryl
did not see them at the station.
2.While he waited at the MRT station,
Daryl realized that the train was
late.
3.After they left, Rosel and Nati
realized that Daryl was waiting at
the MRT station.
Here are some examples of dependent clauses:

a. when you find the answer

b. why he ran away
c. if you need more time
d. because you lost the
money
e. whenever you are ready

 Compound-Complex
Compound-Complex sentences are sentences
made up of 2 or more independent clauses
and 1 or more dependent clauses.
2 ind + 1 dep= compound-complex
Examples
1. Myra went to the store, and she bought some
milk because her family did not have enough
for their cereal.
 Basically….
A compound-complex sentence is just
a compound sentence (that’s the
compound part) with a dependent
clause stuck on it (that’s the complex
part).
Ex. Since they had nothing better to do, Mike
and Angela took their dogs to the park, and
they taught them to catch Frisbees.
