Grammar & Punctuation – Compound Sentences.

Posted by admin on Jan 19, 2010 in English Editing

Multiple sentences are made by combining clauses. The simplest way of doing this is to use the grammatical equivalent of a plus sign:
She has not been very successful + she is looking for another career.
The commonest words to do this job are:
and but or
It is possible to string together as many clauses as you like in this way:
She has not been very successful and she is looking for another career, but so far she has not had much luck and has decided to try a different tack or even give up altogether, but . . . .
Until your readers either get lost or give up in disgust!
