A compound sentence often consists of two independent clauses joined by a comma and a coordinating conjunction.
compound
A comma is used before "and" if it is a compound sentence. You can check to see if it is compound sentence by covering up the "and" and seeing if both parts of the sentence make sence by themselves. No comma is needed if the sentence is not compound. For Example: Bob ran, and he walked. (comma b/c it's compound) Bob ran and walked. (no comma b/c it's not compound) Hope this helps!

Based on the 3 types of sentences by structure, these are the 5 sentence patterns (by structure and punctuation): Simple sentence Compound sentence - clauses separated by semi-colon Compound sentence - clauses joined by a coordinating conjuction Complex Sentence - dependent clause, comma, independent clause Complex Sentence - independent clause, (no comma), dependent clause
A compound sentence ir normally separated by the word "and" or "because", and a comma. If you can break the sentence in to 2 different parts and they are both complete sentences (meaning they both have a subject and an action) then it is a compound sentence. To put it more simply, a compound sentence is 2 complete sentences combined in to one whole sentence, separated by a comma.
A compound sentence consists of two independent clauses joined by a comma and a coordinating conjunction.
A compound sentence becomes a comma splice when two independent clauses are incorrectly joined together with just a comma, without a coordinating conjunction or proper punctuation. This creates a run-on sentence where the two ideas are not properly connected.
A comma is used before a coordinating conjunction (such as "and," "but," "or") that connects two independent clauses in a compound sentence. For example: "I like coffee, but she prefers tea."
The "comma"is before the word"but"because if you had a sentence that your teacher wants you to write,that sentence would be called a"compound sentence".A compound sentence is a sentence that have the words"but"and"and".(example.I want that dog ,but I changed my mind.)
An independent clause has a noun and a verb; basically, it is a simple sentence. You can make more complex sentences by combining two or more independent clauses (simple sentences.) A sentence that contains at least two independent clauses is called a "compound sentence."An example of a compound sentence is:"I was not going to answer this question, but then I decided to do it anyway."A compound sentence is essentially two complete sentences combined with a comma and a conjunction (for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so). Both of the bolded phrases above are independent clauses. Since they are combined with a comma and conjunction into a single sentence, that sentence is a compound sentence.
Comma's are the hardest punctuation mark to place in a sentence. A comma can be placed after instead at the beginning of a sentence if the sentence is a continuation of the subject in the one before it.
