A compound sentence is a sentence that connects two independent clauses, typically with a coordinating conjunction like "and" or "but"
. It is used to combine two or more sentences that are self-sufficient but related into a single, unified sentence. Each independent clause in a compound sentence can stand alone as a separate sentence. Coordinating conjunctions such as "for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so" (FANBOYS) are often used to join the independent clauses in a compound sentence
