    The passage discusses compound and complex sentences, providing examples and exercises to identify clauses and practice combining sentences. Compound sentences join two independent clauses with coordinating conjunctions while complex sentences contain one independent and one dependent clause.

    A compound sentence joins two independent clauses with coordinating conjunctions like 'and', 'but', and 'so'. The examples provided in the passage demonstrate how to combine simple sentences into compound sentences using these conjunctions.

    A complex sentence contains one independent clause and one or more dependent clauses. It identifies the independent and dependent clauses in sample sentences, then rewrites each to reverse the order of the clauses. Dependent clauses modify the independent clause and are introduced by subordinating conjunctions like 'because', 'if', and 'while'.
