* COMPOUND SENTENCE – two independent clauses together, two simple
sentences put together
Mei likes ice cream. Joe likes cake. 2 simple sentences
Join them together: FANBOYS
7 words that we use for compound sentences:
, for , and , nor , but , or , yet
, so
FANBOYS – easy to remember
Some of the FANBOYS word are not used very much for compound
sentences: for nor yet
We are going for a hike tomorrow, for it will be a nice day.
UNUSUAL
We are going for a hike tomorrow because it will be a nice day.
COMMON, AUTHENTIC ENGLISH, REAL, NATURAL-SOUNDING
‘for’ in simple sentences are commonly used- I have a gift for you.
The most useful words for compound sentences are these:
, so , or , but
, and (98% of the time)
SOBA , so , or
, but , and
SOBA – more useful than FANBOYS
, SOBA , so , or , but , and
Mei likes ice cream. Joe
likes cake. 2 SIMPLES

but Joe likes cake. COMPOUND shows
difference
