 ENGLISH LANGUAGE.
BASIC 8.
COMPOUND SENTENCES.
Specific objectives.
After studying this session, students will be able to:
I. Identify coordinating conjunctions.
II. Write their own compound sentences.

1. A simple sentence has two basic parts.
2. These are the subject and the predicate.
3. The subject is the noun or pronoun that comes before the main verb. E.G,
Mrs.Baako delivered a baby boy yesterday.
Mrs.Baako is the subject of the verb 'delivered' in this sentence.
4.The key word in a subject is a noun or a pronoun.
5. On the other hand, the predicate tells the action performed by the subject.
6. Also, the key word in the predicate is a verb.
7. When there is the need to join two simple sentences together, we use conjunctions such as and, but, or, for, so and yet.
8.These conjunctions are known as coordinating conjunctions.
9. Coordinating conjunctions join two independent clauses to form a compound sentence.
10. The parts of compound sentence are called clauses.
11.Since the clauses do not depend on each other, they are known as independent clauses.
12.Thus, a compound sentence is made up of two independent clauses.
E. G
a. We searched all over the place .[Independent clause]
b. We did not find the money. [Independent clause]
These can be joined using conjunction 'but' as follows:
We searched all over the place but we did not find the money.
