What is compound sentence
English
ScanSolve AI Answer
Answer
A compound sentence contains at least two independent clauses. An independent clause is a group of words that can stand alone as a complete sentence because it has a subject and a verb.
These independent clauses in a compound sentence are typically joined by a coordinating conjunction (for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so) or a semicolon.
Example: The sun was setting, and the birds were singing. (Two independent clauses: "The sun was setting" and "the birds were singing," joined by "and".)
