PATTERNS FOR COMPOUND SENTENCES

Rule Sheet

Definition of Compound Sentence:2 independent clauses (complete sentences) combined

using a coordinating conjunction, a semicolon, or a conjunctive adverb.


Definition of Simple Sentence/Independent Clause: Must have a subject and a verb - must be a
complete thought

(Coordinating Conjunction = C.C.) C.C.s Kids are the FANBOYS FOR, and, nor, but, or, yet,
so
*C.C.s Kids eat CRUNCHY COMMAS before breakfast.
(Conjunctive Adverb= C.A.) C.A.s Son is THOMAS B. FLINCH
*C.A.s Son, THOMAS B. FLINCH, eats CRUNCHY COMMAS before
breakfast and SWEET SEMICOLONS after.
Example: They never take the toll road. They still arrive on time.
Pattern 1(Coord. Conj): They never take the toll road, yet they still arrive on time.
Pattern 2 (Conj. Adv.): They never take the toll road; however, they still arrive on time.
Pattern 3 (Semicolon): They never take the toll road; they still arrive on time.

Conjunctive Adverbs and their positions!


*Conjunctive Adverbs have 3 possible positions

Example: Mrs. Babcock loves ice cream; however, her favorite is Carvel.

2. As a subject-verb split:
Example:Mrs. Babcock loves ice cream; her favorite, however, is Carvel.

3. At the end of the second main clause:


Example: Mrs. Babcock loves ice cream; her favorite is Carvel, however.
