Compound Sentences with And
Last time we studied compound sentences using BUT.
Why do we use BUT?We use BUT in a compound
sentence to connect two sentences in which we show difference in ideas.
You must always use connectors (AND, BUT, or So) to connect two sentences or two ideas.
This lesson teaches us when to use AND in a compound sentence?
We use AND to join two or more words that are in the same grammar category.
Compound Sentences with AndWe use AND to join two or more words that are in
the same grammar category. We can connect two nouns (subjects or objects), verbs, and adjectives by using And.
For example: Johnny and Ali play football at the Ha’il University.
AND is being used to combine two sentences.Sentence 1: Johnny plays football at the Ha’il
University.Sentence 2: Ali plays football at the Ha’il
University.
To combine two sentences that are in the same category we use AND: Johnny AND Ali play football at the Ha’il University.
In this example, we use AND to join two nouns and makes the subject of the sentence plural.

Ha’il University.Here AND is used to connect two
sentences that are in the same group.
Johnny plays football.Ali plays football.
AND joins two nouns.There are two subjects.

AND to connect two nouns.

We also use AND to join two verbs in a sentence.
For example: Ahmad walks and jogs in the park everyday.

Sentence 2: Ahmad jogs in the park everyday.
We combine the two sentences by using AND.
New sentence: Ahmad walks and jogs in
the park.
