What is the key elements of both the compound sentence and the complex sentence?

The key elements of both the compound sentence and the complex sentence:

> Subject, A compound sentence refers to a sentence made up of two independent clauses (or complete sentences) connected to one another with a coordinating conjunction. Coordinating conjunctions are easy to remember if you think of the words "FAN BOYS":

S + V + O For S + V + O

S + V + O; S + V + O; (Conj. ADV.) S + V + O;

And

Nor

But

Or

Yet

So.

A complex sentence is made up of an independent clause and one or more dependent clauses connected to it. A dependent clause is similar to an independent clause, or complete sentence, but it lacks one of the elements that would make it a complete sentence.

D + S + V + O, S + V + O S + V + O + D + S + V + O

Dependent clauses begin with subordinating conjunctions. Below are some of the most common subordinating conjunctions:

after

although

as

because

before

even though

if

since

though

unless

until

when

whenever

whereas

wherever

while
