Thank you for making this easy to understand. I got bad grades in English throughout school, and now I am an author who pays way too much for editing! I'm working to reduce that bill.
Thanks for a great tutorial, Jennifer. I got 8/8. Question: Does this mean a comma cannot be used without a coordinating conjunction when writing a compound sentence ?
Do you have any suggestion for recommended books to teach the basics or english rules. Seeking to help my grade 5 improve her writing skills. I find your videos very helpful. Thank you.
Jenifer, regards from India. This is Pijush. In Grammar Books prevalent here, it is observed that sentences like "Morgan is intelligent and wise.", " William thinks and writes.", " John is poor but honest." are compound sentences as they are shortened forms of " Morgan is intelligent and she is wise.", " William thinks and he writes.", " John is poor but he is honest." respectively. Please share your opinion on this way of interpretation.
I'm confused with number 7. I see a dependent clause that's depending on the independent clause to make a complete sentence, so I'm looking at it as a simple sentence which is hard for me to see it as a compound sentence because it needs to be an (independent clauses + , conjunction + independent clause) or (independent clause + ; + independent clause relating to the same situation) to be a compund, so how does a (dependent clauses + ; + independent clauses) gets known for being a compound sentence and not a simple sentence? Please help me, I'm trying to understand
It's a Compound... "I am poor" = independent clause, "but I am happy" also = independent clause (remember to always add a comma before the conjunction).......... "I am poor ( , but) I am happy"
In your sentence example, "as" functions the same way as the coordinating conjunction "for". Your sentence makes perfect sense. However, "as" is considered a subordinating conjunction, so your sentence would be considered "complex" rather than "compound". I'll be doing a lesson on complex sentences later this week. (And compound-complex!)

Simple sentences have a subject that may be simple or compound and a predicate.
It's nice to have someone explain these things in simple terms; I really appreciate it.
Amazingly teacher.
Thank you so much.
That was an outstanding lesson Jennifer!

I find your videos very helpful. Thank you.
Awesome.
Question. If one compound example would have a period in the middle, then would turn into 2 simple sentences?
Thank you.
That is correct! If you take away the comma and coordinating conjunction and replace it with a period, you will be left with two simple sentences. 😊
Thanks alot❤❤ I am following you from Egypt.

Those are still considered simple sentences, but they have compound subjects or compound verbs. :)

Mam,simple sentence with non finite verbs ,make videos about this topic
I make answers are correct,but i've a question about the omission of subject if the subject is same in both clauses
I got all eight
Thank you Jennifer ❤
But I have a question. This sentence ( iam poor but iam happy ) is a simple or compound
It's a Compound... "I am poor" = independent clause, "but I am happy" also = independent clause (remember to always add a comma before the conjunction).......... "I am poor ( , but) I am happy"
Could the word "as" be used as a coordinating conjuction? As in, "I took my phone out of my swimming trunks, as I didn't want it to get wet."
In your sentence example, "as" functions the same way as the coordinating conjunction "for". Your sentence makes perfect sense. However, "as" is considered a subordinating conjunction, so your sentence would be considered "complex" rather than "compound". I'll be doing a lesson on complex sentences later this week.
