Compound Sentence
Author: Maheedhar Kaki Member Level: Diamond Points: 5 (Rs 5)
|
A compound sentence is a combination of two or more main or primary clauses. It may or may not have sub-ordinate clauses.
In other words, a compound sentence consists of two or more independent sentences joined together by a coordinating conjunction.
Sample Usage
He is poor yet he is happy.
The above sentence consists of two parts:
1) He is poor.
2) He is happy.
These two are joined by coordinating conjunction ‘yet’. In the above example each part consists its own subject and predicate i.e each part is called a clause.
Each clause makes good sense by itself, and hence can stand independent of each other.
More examples:
1) You may either stay in the hotel or stay with your relatives.
2) The flowers were blooming, the birds were singing and the spring was in the air.
