Lesson details
Key learning points
- Joining two simple sentences with 'and', 'but' or 'or' is called co-ordination.
- 'And', 'but' and 'or' are three different co-ordinating conjunctions.
- A compound sentence is formed of at least two equal ideas and at least one co-ordinating conjunction.
- A compound sentence has at least two different verbs.
Common misconception
Pupils may think that 'and', 'but' or 'or' in sentences always make a compound sentence.
Ensure pupils understand that to be a compound sentence, each idea on either side of 'and', 'but' or 'or' must have equal weight.
