What features make a compound sentence
There are several features that make up a compound sentence, including:
1. Contains two or more independent clauses that could stand alone as separate sentences.
2. The independent clauses are usually joined by a coordinating conjunction (such as "and," "but," "or," "nor," "for," "so," or "yet") or a semicolon.
3. The independent clauses are equal in importance and often related in meaning or content.
4. Does not contain any dependent clauses, which rely on the rest of the sentence to make sense.
5. Can be divided into separate sentences without losing the overall meaning or coherence.
