How to write Compound

Sentence
1. Add a coordinating conjunction to join two

simple sentences. A coordinating conjunction

shows how and why ideas are connected. The
most commonly used are and, but, for, or, nor,
so and yet. Place a comma before the
coordinating conjunction when making a
compound sentence.

2. Use a semi-colon to form a compound

sentence. While a coordinating conjunction,

such as "and" or "so" could be used when
ideas are closely linked, a semi-colon may help
a sentence flow better.
Example :
My dad is addicted to junk food; he eats it
every day.

3. Make a compound sentence by using a

conjunctive adverb such as also, besides,

finally, later, then, however and instead.
Conjunctive adverbs have a semi-colon before
them, and a comma after.
For example:
I have a lot to do today; also, I have a lot on my
mind.

4. Use a transitional expression to form a compound

sentence. Some examples of transitional expressions are

after all, for example, in other words and as a result. As with
conjunctive adverbs, place a semi-colon before the
transitional expression
Example :
Compound sentences can improve the flow of your writing; for
example, this sentence is a compound sentence
