How is a compound sentence formed?
Answer (3)
A compound sentence contains two or more coordinate main clauses, and does not contain a dependent clause. (If it did, it would be called a compound-complex sentence.) The two or more coordinate clauses could stand as simple sentences on their own, and could be joined into one sentence with a comma and coordinate conjunction, but they could also be joined by a comma or a conjunction on its own, or by a semicolon.
A compound sentence is formed by joining two or more independent clauses together using coordinating conjunctions. ;
A compound sentence is created by joining two or more independent clauses using coordinating conjunctions such as 'and,' 'but,' or 'or.' To form a compound sentence, you can either connect the clauses with a comma and a coordinating conjunction or use a semicolon for closely related ideas. For example, 'I wanted to go for a walk, but it started to rain.'
