Students learn that a compound sentence joins two complete sentences (independent clauses) with a comma and a coordinating conjunction such as and, but, or, so or yet. They sort simple from compound sentences, join pairs of sentences, break compound sentences into their parts, and write their own. Compound sentences let students connect related ideas without producing run-ons.
