Yesterday we worked on meaningful sentences, a type of compound sentence where to independent clauses (simple sentences) are joined by a semicolon.
Please view the presentation on coordinating conjunctions (the FANBOYS) below, then complete the assignment.
Compose seven compound sentences using the comma+FANBOY technique. Each sentence has been started for you:
I got up early, for...
I got up early, and...
I got up early, but...
I got up early, or...
I got up early, yet...
I got up early, so...
I didn't get up early, nor...
Make sure you have a complete sentence after the FANBOY. I got up early, for swimming practice. is NOT a complete compound sentence (swimming practice is not a full sentence). I got up early, for swimming practice was being held before school that day. is a complete compound sentence.
