1. **A compound sentence is defined as a sentence with more than one subject or predicate, and it contains two independent clauses.**


 * Example: Jimmy likes to eat apples(IC), while mary likes to eat children(IC).**

--- 2. **A complex sentence is defined by having an independent clause joined by one dependent clause (or more).**
 * Mathematical breakdown: IC+IC **


 * Example: Although bob got to the car first(DC), he forgot the keys(IC), which resulted in him being arrested. **

3. **A compound complex sentence is defined by being connected with either two independent clauses and a dependent clause, or two dependent clauses and an independent clause.**
 * Mathematical breakdown: 1 IC + 1 DC **


 * Example: Mr. Walker liked to eat chicken(IC), while his wife(DC), who didn't like chicken(DC), liked to eat children instead. **

-- **Limbo**; Hopeful angel. ---
 * Mathematical Breakdown: IC+IC+DC OR DC+DC+IC **
 * Lust**; Secret Couple
 * Gluttony**; Jumping for gluttony
 * Greed**; Money for the rich.




 * Anger**; Told something that infuriated them


 * Heresy**; Belief in another idea

1. I attempted to babysit Luke, but Darth Shingler kept saying he was his father. 2. Bob ate some cheese, while karen ate Jillian.

3 differences between commas and semi colons:

1. Commas are used to provide a slight pause and break in the sentence. 2. Commas are also used to separate listed items. 3. Semi colons provide for a LONG pause in sentences, and not used for items.

2 sentences using (and explaining why you used) comma

1. I ate the children, shrunk the kids, and am Luke's father.

(Used the commas due to the fact that I was listing items)

1. I wanted to laugh, so I watched the VP debates.

(To provide a slight break to continue in the complex sentence)

1 sentence using (and explaining why you used) semi colon

1. The people are worse then we expected; I won't be getting home until nine.

(To provide a longer break in the sentence indicating dramatic pause for indication for reasonings)
