A compound sentence is a combination of two independent clauses that is being connected by a conjunction. A compound sentence is formed "by joining two simple sentences with a comma and a coordinate conjunction". Some of the coordinate conjunctions that are used to connect these two simple sentences are and, but, so, or, for, nor, yet and many more. Below are some examples of compound sentences.

- I love icecream but, I hate it when it is melting already.

- She goes to school everyday and, she participates in class too.
