Answer

A. 1. Joe went to the store.

2. Sarah and Jessie are going swimming.

3. The frog jumped and landed in the pond.

4. Can I have some juice to drink?

5. The pizza smells delicious.

6. There is a fly in the car with us.

7. Look on top of the refrigerator for the key.

8. I am out of paper for the printer.

9. Will you help me with the math homework?

10. The music is too loud for my ears.

B. As you've seen above, many compound sentences are made using coordinating conjunctions.
In this case, the sentence must contain a comma before the conjunction for correct
punctuation. For example:

1. She did not cheat on the test, for it was the wrong thing to do.
2. I really need to go to work, but I am too sick to drive.
3. I am counting my calories, yet I really want dessert.
 4. He ran out of money, so he had to stop playing poker.
5. They got there early, and they got really good seats.
6. They had no ice cream left at home, nor did they have money to go to the store.
7. Everyone was busy, so I went to the movie alone.
8. I thought the promotion was mine, but my attendance wasn't good enough.
9. Should we start class now, or wait for everyone to get here?
10. It was getting dark, and we weren't near the cabin yet.

C. 1. I ate my lunch, and I went to school.

2. She studied all night, so she was late for the exam

3. She studied all night, but she was late for the exam.

4. I walked into town, I met with my friends and I bought a new computer.

5. Because the council refused to pay for the building’s repairs, and winter was closing in, the
weather was bad and the roof was leaking.

6. We use the but conjunction to introduce a clause that contrasts with the preceding clause,
for example: Mary ran fast, but she couldn't catch John.

7. We use the or conjunction to join two alternative clauses, for example: Will Mary go, or
will John go?

8. We use the for conjunction (meaning something like because) to join two clauses when the
second clause is the reason for the first clause, for example: He felt cold, for it was
snowing.

9. The yet conjunction is similar to but. It means something like but at the same time; but
nevertheless; but in spite of this. As with but, there is a contrast between the clauses, for
example: I have known him for a long time, yet I have never understood him.

10. The so conjunction means something like therefore; and for this reason. We use so to join
two clauses when the first clause is the reason for the second clause, for example: He was
feeling sick, so he went to the doctor.
