English 11 Name _______________________________________________ Period _____ Compound Sentence Review REVIEW: A compound sentence is formed when two separate sentences (or complete thoughts) are joined together by a comma and a coordinating conjunction. The following seven coordinating conjunctions are used to form compound sentences: for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so. Unlike a compound sentence, a compound verb is NOT two complete thoughts joined together. Instead, it is one subject with two verbs. Because two complete sentences are not being joined, there is NO COMMA before the conjunction. Sample Compound Sentences: The students studied all night, and they passed the exam. S V + , C S V + Anderson failed his exam, for he had not studied at all. S Sample Compound Verb: V + ,C S V I studied all week and passed the exam. S V + C V + Write a properly punctuated compound sentence using each of the given coordinating conjunctions. Refer to the examples above if you get stuck. 1. for: __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ 2. and: __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ 3. nor: __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ 4. but: __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ 5. or: __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ 6. yet: __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ 7. so : __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________
