COMPOUND SENTENCE

A compound sentence is a sentence which consists of two or more independent clauses which are joined by a sentence connector or a coordinating conjunction.  

Pattern:

                         

CS = IP + connector + IP

or                                                                                                         

CS = IP + coordinating conjunction + IP

{IP    =    S + P or S + P + O/C}

in which,

CS    =    Compound Sentence

IP      =    Independent Clause

S       =    Subject

P       =    Predicate (verb)

O      =    Object

C      =    Complement
