Writing Skills Level 2 Conclusion
A simple sentence has one subject-verb group, and it expresses one complete idea.
I brought flowers to Rodrigo.
We danced and sang.
A compound sentence has at least two subject-verb groups, and it expresses at least two complete ideas. These ideas must be related.
Sandra and I liked the flowers, and Camilo enjoyed the chocolates.
In a compound sentence, two complete ideas are joined by a conjunction. Some common conjunctions are and, but, and so. And connects similar ideas, but connects contrasting ideas, and so connects a cause with its result. When you write, put a comma before the conjunction.
