      Ok lets go back to study what we have learn in tech com class.After phonetic symbol we learn sentence structure that have 4 main kind of sentence, which is

a) simple  = content 1 ic ( independent clauses)

b) compound = content 2 ic 

c) complex = 1 ic and 1 or more dc ( dependent clauses )

d) compound/complex = 2 or more ic and 1 dc

Independent Clauses is a subject that stand alone

Dependent Clauses is a subject that cannot stand alone

A compound sentence contains two independent clauses joined by a coordinator. The coordinators are as follows: for, and, nor, but, or, yet,and so.
