Put a period between the two sentences. |
Lisa was extremely sick she had to go to the hospital. |
Lisa was extremely sick. She had to go to the hospital. Now these are two good sentences. |

Connect the two sentences with a comma and a coordinating conjunction (and, but, nor, for, so, or, yet). This forms a compound sentence. |
It’s raining we don’t want to go outside. |
It’s raining, so we don’t want to go outside. This is a good sentence. |
3 |
Connect the two sentences with a semicolon. |
The diving board is fun the slide is even better! |
The diving board is fun; the slide is even better! This is a good sentence. |
4 |
Connect the two sentences with a semicolon and a word or phrase to explain the relationship between the two sentences (however, therefore, then, as a result, consequently, also, in contrast, nevertheless, on the other hand, etc.). For example: |
Sarah is a good driver she got in an accident. |
Sarah is a good driver; nevertheless, she got in an accident. This is a good sentence. |
5 |
Connect the two sentences by inserting one as a dependent clause. You will often use a dependent clause signal word to do this (because, if, although, which, who, when). This forms a complex sentence. |
Grandma is coming at noon she is bringing my birthday cake! |
Grandma, who is bringing my birthday cake, is coming at noon! This is a good sentence. |
