RECAP

We have learned from the past lesson that a simple sentence is one
independent clause that has a subject and a verb and expresses a complete
thought.
6
 LESSON

Sentence construction is the key to our mastery of the English

language, the language used by most people in the world today. To be
intelligible, a sentence must be grammatically complete, clear and coherent.

Today, let us talk about how to express our thoughts in a way that
allows our audience to receive information easily and quickly as we learn how
to use various types and kinds of sentences for effective communication of
information/ideas: Compound Sentences.

Read these sentences:

A. Shekinah cooks spaghetti while Hannah prepares the salad.

B. Sarah and Beng are baking the cake.

Answer the questions:

1. How many sentences do we have in sentence A? In sentence B?

(There are two sentences in sentence A, while only one in
sentence B).

2. How many subjects do we have in sentence A? What are they?

(There are two subjects in sentence A? Shekinah and Hannah).

3. How many actions/activities do we have in sentence A? Are they the

same? (There are two actions/activities in sentence A. These are
“cooks” and “prepares”, and they are not the same.)

4. How many subjects do we have in sentence B? How many

predicates? (There are two subjects in sentence B, and it is called a
compound subject, and there is only one predicate)

5. Which do you think is a simple sentence? Why?

(Sentence B is an example of a simple sentence because it consists
of one independent clause that has a subject and a verb and
expresses a complete thought. An independent clause can stand
alone as a complete idea)

7
Study this sentence:

Sleep early, or you will not be able to wake up at 4:00 A.M.

1. How many simple sentences do we have in the example?

(There are two simple sentences in a sentence).

2. What word did we use to join these sentences? What do we call

this word? (Or. Conjunction).

3. What type of sentence is this? (Compound sentence)

A compound sentence is made up of (2) two simple sentences or two or

more independent clauses joined by a conjunction. A great way to remember
conjunctions is FANBOYS.

F – For: reasons
A – And: addition/next action
N – Nor: not one or the other
B – But: contrasting and unexpected results
O – Or: choices and conditions
Y – Yet: contrasting and unexpected results
S – Or: choices and conditions

Examples:

 Howard plays the guitar, and Harold sings worship songs.

 Hower dropped his cell phone, but it didn’t break

Writing a compound sentence is an effective way for you to show how

the ideas in the clauses are related. When you write a compound sentence
with a coordinating conjunction, use a comma before the conjunction.

Let’s give some examples:

 Join our tour groups, or you will lose your chance of seeing
the popular cities in Asia.
 Bong hates you, yet he has a crush on you.
 Mother was so upset today, for we did not follow all her
commands.

Guided Practice
Let’s try this as our practice exercise:

IC1 IC2
1. Separate: Jack joined a group of actors. They are quite talented.
conj.
Combined: Jack joined a group of actors, and they are quite

talented.

(The word and connects the two related ideas)

SS1 SS2
2. Separate: Their first play is a hilarious comedy. It’s sure to be a
hit.

conj.
Combined: Their first play is a hilarious comedy, so it’s sure to be
a hit (the word so shows an effect.)

 VALUING

From time to time, we face problems and challenges in life, just like
what we are facing today amid crisis and pandemic. When problems become
very difficult or burdensome, we feel bad and feel like giving up. But we
should not do this. We should not give up, especially if what we are doing is
good and is beneficial not only to us but also to others. Galatians 6:9 - So
let's not get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time, we will reap a
harvest of blessing if we don't give up.
