be related in meaning. It would not be logical to join

two sentences with unrelated meanings.
2. A coordinating conjunction is one of these seven joining
words: for, and, nor, but, or, yet and so. You can
remember the coordinating conjunctions with the
word 'fan boys', formed from the first letters of these
seven conjunctions.

Here are some more examples of compound sentences:

1. The two stopped to eat, for the work had made them
hungry.
2. The afternoon had been long, and hours had gone by
since lunch.
3. There was no house nearby, nor did they have any
food with them.

4. They wanted to pick blueberries as a snack, but a bear
growled at them from the berry patch.

5. Should they leave now, or should they wait awhile?
6. The job was not done, yet they needed to rest and eat.

7. They were starving, and it was getting dark, so they
went home.
