HOW TO CREATE COMPOUND SENTENCES - 1

A compound sentence is formed by combining two or more independent clauses using coordinating conjunctions, semicolons, or conjunctive adverbs.

Here's how to use compound sentences:

1. Using coordinating conjunctions:
You can join two independent clauses with coordinating conjunctions such as and, but, or, nor, for, so, or, yet.
Example:
I wanted to go for a run, but it started raining.

2. Using semicolons:
If the two independent clauses are closely related, you can use a semicolon to connect them.
Example:
She loves to read; she has a vast collection of books.

3. Using conjunctive adverbs:
You can also use conjunctive adverbs like however, therefore, nevertheless, meanwhile, etc., to join two independent clauses.

When using a conjunctive adverb, you typically follow it with a semicolon and place a comma after it.
Example:
He wanted to buy a new car; however, he decided to save money instead.

In each case, the goal is to connect two independent clauses that can stand alone as separate sentences but are related in meaning.
