The key elements of both the compound sentence and the complex sentence:
Answer: =====> Subject, A compound sentence refers to a sentence made up of two independent clauses (or complete sentences) connected to one another with a coordinating conjunction. Coordinating conjunctions are easy to remember if you think of the words "FAN BOYS":
S + V + O For S + V + O
S + V + O; S + V + O; (Conj. ADV.) S + V + O;
And
Nor
But
Or
Yet
So.
A complex sentence is made up of an independent clause and one or more dependent clauses connected to it. A dependent clause is similar to an independent clause, or complete sentence, but it lacks one of the elements that would make it a complete sentence.
D + S + V + O, S + V + O S + V + O + D + S + V + O
Dependent clauses begin with subordinating conjunctions. Below are some of the most common subordinating conjunctions:
after
although
as
because
before
even though
if
since
though
unless
until
when
whenever
whereas
wherever
while
