A compound sentence is composed of at least two independent clauses. It does not require a dependent clause. The clauses are joined by a coordinating conjunction (with or without a comma), a correlative conjunction (with or without a comma), or a semicolon that functions as a conjunction. A conjunction can be used to make a compound sentence. The use of a comma to separate two short independent clauses in a sentence is accepted.
Examples
- My friend invited me to a tea party, but my parents didn't let me go.
- Do you want to stay here, or would you like shopping with me?
are you going mcdonalds or asda tell me.Bold text
