Compound Sentences

Compound Sentences contains two simple sentences combined with a comma and a conjunction!
There are 7 different types of conjunctions!
A comma is used to separate the two simple sentences!
Quick tip: You will need to get rid of the first punctuation mark at the end of your first sentence and change it to a comma!
We can also use a semicolon ( ; ) to combine compound sentences as long as they are similar!
