Directions: Transform all of these simple sentences into compound sentences by adding an additional independent clause. Remember: You need a subject and verb on each side of the conjunction (FANBOYS) for it to be a compound sentence. You also need a comma before the conjunction. You can also use a semicolon to combine your clauses.
