Happy Monday!! Add these definitions to your grammar notes

A simple sentence consists of one independent clause. An independent clause contains a subject and a predicate and expresses a complete thought.

Ex: I went to the amusement park on Saturday.

A compound sentence consists of two or more independent clauses that are connected by a comma and a coordinating conjunction (for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so). A semi-colon may be used instead of a comma and FANBOYS.

Ex: I went to the amusement park on Saturday, but my brother stayed home.

Combine each sentence pair below to make a compound sentence. Remember that you need two separate subjects, two separate verbs, and

a FANBOYS conjunction.

1. Halloween is a scary holiday. I dress up for Halloween every year.

2. Fall is a time for family and football. The cooler weather means it’s finally time to wear warmer clothes.

3. We only have four days of school this week. There will still be a lot of work to complete.
