Three ways to combine independent clauses into a compound sentence

1. A comma and a cording conjunction- The coordinating conjunction serves as a transition that shows the relationship of ideas within the sentence. Use the acronym FANBOYS to help you remember the seven coordinating conjunctions-for, and, nor, but, or yet, or, so. [Independent clause,] and [independent clause.] Coordinating Conjunctions (FANBOYS) and Meanings For-result And-addition Nor-negation But-contrast Or-choice Yet-contrast So-result (Separation) and (divorce) (can be devastating)(,) (but)(you)(can comfort) and (support) your child.-independent clauses Separation, divorce, you-subjects Can be devastating, can comfort, support-verbs But-coordinating conjunction

2. The Depemdfemt clause

An incomplete thought expressed with a subject and a verb marked by a subordinate conjunction such as after, before or when. (Once) a (family) (has decided) to adopt.-dependent clause (incomplete thought). Once-suborning conjunction Family-subject Has decided-verb (2) An incomplete thought marked by a relative pronoun, such as who or which, acting as the subject of the verb. that should be discussed - dependent clause (incomplete thought) That- relative pronoun acting as a subject. discussed-verb

Subordinating Conjunctions and the Relationships They Express

Cause-as, because, in order that, now that, since, so Contrast-although, as if, even though, though, whereas, while Time-after, as, as long as, before, once, since, until, when, whenever, while Place- where, wherever Condition- even if, how, if, only if, that, unless, what, when, whether or not Your (role) in society (is set) (before) you are born. Role-subject Is set-verb Before-subordinating conjunction

Recognize Types of Clauses

A clause is a group of related words that includes a subject and a verb. Two types of clauses provide the bais of all sentences: the (1) indeoendent clause and the (2) deoendent clause

Compose Complex Sentences

A complex sentence contains one independent or main clause and one or more dependent clauses. A dependent clause express a subordinate or minor detail about an idea in the independent clause, a complex sentence joins independent and dependent clauses by placing a subordinating conjunction at the beginning of the dependent clause. Subordinate conjunction state the relationship between the main clause and the subordinate clause.

Compose Compound Sentences

A compound sentence is made up of two or more independent clauses. A compound sentence links two or more independent clauses as equally important ideas through one of three methods.

1. The Independent Clause

A focused and complete thought expressed with a subject and a verb; also known as a main clause or simple sentence. Adoptive family (members) (can form) strong bonds. -independence clause (complete thought). Members-subject. Can form-verb

A semicolon

A semicolon joins two closely related independent clauses. [Independent clause:][independent clause.] (Children) (may blame) themselves for the divorce of their parents: (they) often (try) to fix their families. Children, they-subjects may blame, try-verbs themselves for the divorce of their parents- Independent clause they often try to fix their families- Independent clause

A semicolon, conjunctive adverbs and a comma

The conjunction shows the relationship of ideas within the sentence. In addition, the conjunctive adverb introduces the next clause. A comma follows the conjunctive adverb since it is an introductory element of the next clause: Common conjunctive adverbs and the relationships they express Addition-also, besides, further, furthermore, in addition, incidentally, moreover Cause or Effect- accordingly, as a result, consequently, hence, therefore, thus Comparison or Contrast- however, in comparison, in contrast, instead, likewise, nevertheless, nonetheless, otherwise, similarly Example- for example, for instance Emphasis- certainly, indeed, in fact, still, undoubtedly Time- finally, meanwhile, next, then, thereafter
