Can you give a list of words that create compound sentence?

You're asking for a list of words that create compound sentences. This is a little tricky, because it's not the words themselves that create a compound sentence, but rather their function. A compound sentence is made up of two or more independent clauses (complete sentences) joined by a coordinating conjunction.

Here's the breakdown:

* Independent Clause: A group of words that has a subject and a verb and can stand alone as a complete thought.

* Coordinating Conjunctions: These are the "glue" that connect independent clauses to form a compound sentence.

* FANBOYS: For, And, Nor, But, Or, Yet, So

Let's see it in action:

* Independent Clause 1: The sun is shining.

* Independent Clause 2: The birds are singing.

* Coordinating Conjunction: And

* Compound Sentence: The sun is shining, and the birds are singing.

So, the list you're really looking for is the FANBOYS! They are the only words that directly create compound sentences.

Important Note: You can also use a semicolon (;) to connect two independent clauses without a coordinating conjunction.
