Yes. Both are right now.
Oh, strawberries and bananas? That's quite the fruity duo! You got it right - it's a compound sentence! Just like the dynamic duo of Batman and Robin. They go hand in hand, just like strawberries and bananas! Keep up the good work, my fruity friend!
To determine the type of sentence, it is helpful to understand the different types of sentence structures: simple, compound, complex, and compound-complex.
1. "If you fail to plan, you plan to fail." - This sentence is a compound sentence because it consists of two independent clauses connected by the coordinating conjunction "if."
2. "I was thinking about meeting Susan for dinner and then we could go shopping." - This sentence is a complex sentence because it contains one independent clause ("I was thinking about meeting Susan for dinner") and one dependent clause ("then we could go shopping") connected by the subordinating conjunction "then."
3. "Strawberries and bananas are my two favorite fruits." - This sentence is a simple sentence because it consists of one independent clause ("Strawberries and bananas are my two favorite fruits") and does not contain any dependent clauses.
Therefore, the correct answer for each question is:
1. compound
2. complex
3. simple
1. No
2. No
3. Yes
