(the two independen clauses are joined by a conjunction “and”)

Compound Sentences by Coordination

Compound sentences by coordination may be joined in three different ways:

By using a conjunction: / a correlative conjunction

Conjunctions connect words, phrases, or clauses of equivalent grammatical structure or serve as

transitions between sentences.

By using a sentence connectorUsed to connect sentences. They are not part of the sentence as is the conjunction.

to one another.

Sentence connectors

A sentence connector is a word that is used to connect sentences. (furthermore, nevertheless, also, however, similarly, notwithstanding, therefore, thus, etc.)

It is not an integral part of the sentence.

It is separated from the sentence by a mark of punctuation (usually ;)

The connector can be placed:

-between the two independent clausesHe is my friend; however, he speaks ill of

me.-in the second clause

He is my friend; he, however, speaks ill of me.

-at the end of the compound sentenceHe is my friend; he speaks ill of me,
