Writing | Compound Sentences

Compound sentences are two simple sentences joined together with a comma and conjunction (FANBOY - For, And, Nor, But, Or, Yet & more).

A simple sentence can be made by following the steps that consider the simple sentences, conjunction, and comma. 










First make two simple sentences. Example: 
- The macaw's back feathers are blue.
- The macaw's chest feathers are yellow.

Then pick a conjunction.
- But.

Stick them together with a comma after the first sentence then the conjunction.
The macaw's back feathers are blue, but her chest feathers are yellow.

Instead of saying; " The macaw's back feathers are blue, but the macaw's chest feathers are yellow ", switch is to say something other than 'The macaw's' or the name of the actor of the sentence, so that it doesn't sound weird.
