Begin compound sentences

 

Sentence types:

SIMPLE

COMPOUND

COMPLEX

 

These are the sentence types that you need to be successful in an English high school or college.

You can use all of the sentences types that we are learning in highschool, college, life, work, etc.

 

SIMPLE SV

 

It is a sunny day.

It will rain tomorrow.

 

 

COMPOUND – join these simple sentences together

 

It is a sunny day JOIN it will rain tomorrow.

 

JOIN- , SOBA  , so   , or   , but   , and

 

English speakers use SOBA everyday, all day long!

 

e.g. It is a sunny day, but it will rain tomorrow.

 

 

HIGHER LEVEL WAYS TO MAKE A COMPOUND SENTENCE:

e.g.    It is a sunny day; also, it will rain tomorrow.

It is a sunny day; however, it will rain tomorrow.

 

I teach this in EF56.  In EF34, I stick to SOBA.

 

, so              gives a reason

, or              option, choice

, and           together

 

Examples of compound sentences with SOBA:

 

, so              gives a reason

Mei had insomnia last night, so she is very tired today.

 

, or              option, choice

You can have tea, or you can have coffee.

You can have tea or coffee. SIMPLE

 

, but            difference

Jun wants to get a cat, but Taka does not like cats.

 

, and           together

Jean speaks French, and Maria speaks French, too.

 

Jean and Maria speak French. SIMPLE

 

Do you see the difference between simple and compound sentences?

We will learning this for the next couple of days.

 

 

 

 

Simple and Compound Sentences

 

Simple Sentence
