Compound Subject
• A sentence has a compound subject if there is more than one subject mentioned in the sentence
Example: John and Joan went on a day long hike near Crater Lake.
John, Joan = Compound Subjects
Now write 5 Compound Subject sentences.
![Page 10: Sentence Combining](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56813c6e550346895da5ffd3/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Compound Predicate
• Andy went to the store and bought some gum.
Compound Predicate
Now write 5 Compound Predicate sentences.
Compound Predicate = two
verbs

Just What are FANBOYS?
• Coordinating Conjunctions—they join two words or sentences together.
For, And, Nor, But, Or, Yet, So
![Page 12: Sentence Combining](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56813c6e550346895da5ffd3/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
The Compound Sentence
• A compound sentence consists of two sentences joined together by FANBOYS
• (For, And, Nor, But, Or, Yet, So) or a SEMICOLON.
John went to the store. He bought some apples., and
h
;or You Decide!
John went to the store, and he bought some apples.John went to the store; he bought some apples.
![Page 13: Sentence Combining](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56813c6e550346895da5ffd3/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

Semicolons
• Semicolons are used to connect sentences also.
She walked home from school. She missed the bus.
s
;He drove the car all through the night; he had to get home.
![Page 15: Sentence Combining](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56813c6e550346895da5ffd3/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Now write ten Compound Sentences on your own.
Use 5 different FANBOYS and 5 Semicolons.

Advanced Moves3 Sentences Connected
THE MAXIMUM SENTENCES THAT CAN BE CONNECTED TOGETHER ARE THREE!!!!! You can only use a FANBOY one time and a semicolon one time.•I wanted a glass of water from the well, but I didn’t have a glass; I was so thirsty.
•Mr. J was really upset; he didn’t have his jelly donut this morning, for he was late to work by an hour.

3 Types of Sentence Problems
• Fragments
• Run-ons
• Comma Splice
![Page 18: Sentence Combining](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56813c6e550346895da5ffd3/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

Run-on Sentences/Comma Splice
• A RUN-ON SENTENCE connects two sentences
together without using FANBOYS or a SEMICOLON.• A Comma Splice uses only a comma to separate two
sentences (it is supposed to be a comma and a FANBOYS)

Ways to fix them
• Make sure you have a Subject and a Predicate.
• Use FANBOYS or SEMICOLONS
• Use commas to set off dependant/subordinate clauses to clear away any confusion.
