“Calvin went to Chicago by airplane, and Audra traveled to the city by train”. This is an example of a compound sentence because it is made up of two simple sentences that are connected by a conjunction ‘and’.
A compound sentence connects two independent simple sentences or clauses, usually with a conjunction like ‘and’, ‘or, ‘but’, etc. The two clauses consequently become a single, unified sentence.
Other examples include:
1. I want to lose weight but I hate exercising.
2. He is bankrupt, so he cannot afford the house.
Compound sentences can also use semi-colon as the connective. In this case, conjunctions are not used. For example, ‘John drives a Jaguar; Michael drives a Porsche’.
