A compound sentence is a sentence that features two independent clauses, or simple sentences that feature a subject and a verb, joined by a comma and a conjunction, or FANBOYS.

Independent Clause: I ran.      Subject= I. Verb= ran.

Independent Clause: They ate ice cream.         Subject= They. Verb=ate.

To merge these two independent clauses together, we need to replace the period with a comma and add a conjunction.

Conjunctions:
F= for (because)
A= and (together with, connect related ideas together)
N= nor (neither)
B= but (contrasting information, other than, except)
O= or (alternatives, or explains an idea or provides a definition)
Y= yet (but at the same time, still/additionally, up until the present time)
S= so (and for this reason, in order that/with the aim that)

Sample Compound Sentences based on previous examples (I ran. They ate ice cream):
I ran, but they ate ice cream.
They ate ice cream, but I ran.

A compound-complex sentence is a sentence with two independent clauses and one dependent clause, joined by a semicolon and conjunctive adverb.

One part of the sentence (independent clause) is a complete thought and can be on its own; however, the second part of the sentence (dependent clause) relies on more information to be a complete thought and cannot be on its own.

Independent Clause: Odysseus drank and ate food. Subject: Odysseus, Verb: drank and ate.
(Complete thought because it does not require additional information.)

Dependent Clause: While Odysseus drank and ate food.  Subject: While Odysseus, Verb: drank and ate...
...WHAT HAPPENS???  Did Odysseus choke on the food? Did Odysseus get attacked by an army?
(This sentence is incomplete because the "While," or the conjunctive adverb, suggests additional information will follow.)

You will need...
Partial list of Conjunctive Adverbs and their Meanings**:

1. To show addition or another fact: again, also, besides, finally, further, furthermore, moreover.

2. To show contrast or change an idea: anyway, however, instead, nevertheless, otherwise, contrarily, conversely, nonetheless.

3. To show time or next sequence in events/time: Meanwhile, while, next, then, now, thereafter.

4. To show result: accordingly, consequently, hence, henceforth, therefore, thus, incidentally, subsequently.

5. To show a specific case: namely, specifically.

6. To show a comparison: likewise, similarly.

7. To strengthen a point: indeed.

8. To return to your point after conceding/yielding/agreeing: still, nevertheless.

9. To recognize a point off your main point: undoubtedly, certainly.

Now you have to merge 2 independent clauses with 1 dependent clause using the following formulas (another way of thinking about this: Merge a compound sentence with a semicolon, conjunctive adverb, and additional independent clause):

1. Dependent Clause , + Independent Clause ; conjunctive adverb , Independent Clause.

Example: Although he enjoyed his stay with Circe, Odysseus was ready to return home; however, he needed directions for how to return home before he could leave.

2. Independent Clause + Dependent Clause ; conjunctive adverb, Independent Clause

Example: Odysseus was ready to return home even though he enjoyed his stay with Circe; however, he needed directions for how to return home before he could leave.
