7. Compound Sentences
A compound sentence is two or more independent clauses joined together.

8. 3 ways to join the clauses in compound sentences:
1. With a coordinator(for, and, nor, but, or, and yet, so) join these independent clauses. (Hint: The conjunctions spell FANBOYS.See page 166) Salt water boils at a higher temperature than freshwater, so food cooks faster in salt water. Pattern: Independent clause, +coordinator + independent clause 2. With a conjunctive adverb (See page 169) Salt water boils at a higher temperature than freshwater; therefore, food cooks faster in salt water. 3. With a semicolon Salt water boils at a higher temperature than freshwater; food cooks faster in salt water
