compound sentences
Two ideas linked
Compound sentences join two or more independent clauses—each capable of standing alone—with a coordinating conjunction (and, but, or, so) or a semicolon: I wanted to stay, but she wanted to leave.
The structure gives equal weight to both ideas, unlike complex sentences where one clause depends on another.
