1. Compound Conjunctions
Compound conjuction dalah kata sambung yang menghubungkan hal-hal
yang setara, misalnya subject dengan subject, verb dengan verb, object

dibenarkan meletakkan mereka di awal kalimat. Contoh:

Namun conjuction lain bisa digunakan untuk menggantikannya ketika di awal kalimat.
Contoh:

mengawali mereka.

Umumnya, coordinative conjunction diawali dengan sebuah koma ketika
menghubungkan dua kalimat.

Jika kalimat yang dihubungkan merupakan kalimat-kalimat pendek, koma dapat

dihilangkan.
