Review of Sentences Thus Far…
• Simple Sentence: Contains a subject and a predicate (aka an independent clause).
• Compound Sentence: Contains two or more simple sentences (ICs) joined by a conjunction (FANBOYS)
• Complex Sentence: Contains an independent clause and a dependent clause.
Compound-Complex Sentence
• Compound-Complex: Contains two independent clauses joined by one of the FANBOYS and a dependent clause– A combination of a compound sentence and a complex
sentence
• Everything that is present in a compound sentence and a complex sentence MUST be present to be considered a compound-complex sentence.
Compound Sentence = IC + FANBOYS + IC
Complex Sentence = IC + DC
So…
Compound-Complex = IC + FANBOYS + IC + DC
Now, let’s break it down more…
