Simple and Compound sentences

Simple & Compound

Simple sentences:

A simple sentence contains only one independent clause, but it can has more than one subject or verb.

Example:

_ Two subject: The student and his friend yawned.
_ Two verbs: The student yawned and feel asleep.

A sentence with all these elements will be long, but it it still simple because it contains only one independent clause.

Examples:

_ The tall student sitting in the back in my physics class and his friend yawned loudly and feel sleep.

Compound sentence:

A compound sentence has two or more independent clause that are usually joined by a coordinating conjunction.

Examples:

_ Zak got a new job, so he has to move.
_ He has a lot of homework, but He is not going to have time to study tonight.

Compound sentence with coordinating:

Conjunctions:

Most compound sentence are formed with a And, Or, But, So, For, Nor, Yet. The last three occur almost exclusively in writing, so they add a level formality.

Examples:

_ The experiment was deemed successful, Yet our resurges were unsatisfactory.
_ The students were unhappy with their professor, For he often wasted their time in class.

Notice: 

*The difference between a simple sentence with a compound verb and a compound sentence with two classes simple.

_My friends returned from a long day of shopping and went straight to bed.
