A compound sentence contains two sentences joined
by and, or, or but. These words
are called conjunctions. Compound sentences express more than one complete
thought. For example:
Mr. Bergey enjoys writing.
(One complete thought, right?)

+
|
Mr. Bergey's favorite author is Agatha Christie.
(Another complete thought, right?)

Mr. Bergey enjoys writing and
his favorite author is Agatha Christie.
(Two complete thoughts joined by the word "and".)
