Question

How many compound sentences are in the nursery rhyme and how many are in the poem?

Answer 1

A compound sentence with “nursery rhyme” contains at least two independent clauses. These two independent clauses can be combined with a comma and a coordinating conjunction or with a semicolon. A compound sentence is a sentence that has at least two independent clauses joined by a comma, semicolon or conjunction. An independent clause is a clause that has a subject and verb and forms a complete thought.

Examples of compound sentences include;

1)   Karen baked a cake, but the cake was burnt.

2)   I waited for Jack and Jill at class, and they had already left the building.

3)   Jim loves to go hunting, yet he will not take his brother with him.

A compound sentence in poetry expresses two or more complete thoughts. It joins two or more sentences that have related ideas, usually with a conjunction.
