About this resource
Introduction
This set of 9 grammar worksheets helps students learn, practice, and master compound sentences in a step-by-step approach. The activities move from identifying compound sentences to combining simple ones using coordinating conjunctions (and, but, or, so).
Learners also practice selecting the correct conjunction, correcting punctuation, expanding sentences, and revising for clarity. The varied formats—identification, conjunction selection, editing, and short writing — make grammar practice engaging and effective. By the end, students confidently use commas and conjunctions to create smoother, more complex writing.
