STEP 1 for compound sentences: SV, SOBA SV.
STEP 2 for compound sentences: ; semicolon
-I want to go swimming, but I have a cold.
-My little brother wants me to buy a new pair of shoes, but I don’t have enough money yet.

fancier, look very professional, look great, high-level writing

I want to go swimming; I have a cold. semicolon

Some people love semicolon and use them all the time. Some people never use them. I use them when I want the sentence to stand out. They make the sentence look fancy and special. Don’t use them too much.
STEP 3 – transitional terms with semicolons
-I want to go swimming, but I have a cold. , SOBA
I want to go swimming; I have a cold. semicolon
I want to go swimming; however, I have a cold. semicolon and trans
-My little brother wants me to buy a new pair of shoes, but I don’t have enough money yet.

Three ways to write compound sentences:

; replaces , so ,or ,but ,and
You have a lot of choice. You have to figure out how to do each way.

I like cats; she likes dogs. COMPOUND
I like cats; however, she likes dogs. COMPOUND

These can all substitute for each other. They can fit in for each other. They can replace each other.
Just like a recipe- substitute honey for sugar, substitute chicken for beef
Music – C7 substitute F#7, G substitute Bm
