Complete It!

Worksheet Description

The Compound Sentences worksheet is designed to help students practice creating compound sentences by adding a second independent clause to an existing one. The worksheet lists simple sentences and prompts students to complete them by using one of the coordinating conjunctions provided: ‘and,’ ‘yet,’ ‘but,’ and ‘so.’ The goal is to have students recognize how different conjunctions can be used to join clauses with related but distinct ideas, and to express a complete thought that reflects the combined ideas of both clauses.

The purpose of this worksheet is to instruct students in the construction of compound sentences, which are an important component of varied and engaging writing. By choosing an appropriate conjunction, students learn to create sentences that show addition, contrast, causation, or choice. The activity enhances their understanding of how to link ideas in a way that is grammatically correct and logically sound. Through this exercise, students develop their writing skills, enabling them to express complex ideas effectively.
