LESSON 76.
THE COMPOUND SENTENCE.
+Introductory Hints+.--_Cromwell made one revolution, and Monk made
another_. The two clauses are independent of each other. The second clause,
added by the conjunction _and_ to the first, continues the line of thought
begun by the first.
_Man has his will, but woman has her way_. Here the conjunction connects
independent clauses whose thoughts stand in contrast with each other.
_The Tudors were despotic, or history belies them_. The independent
clauses, connected by _or_, present thoughts between which you may choose,
but either, accepted, excludes the other.
_The ground is wet, therefore it has rained_. Here the inferred fact, the
raining, really stands to the other fact, the wetness of the ground, as
cause to effect--the raining made the ground wet. _It has rained_, _hence
the ground is wet_. Here the inferred fact, the wetness of the ground,
really stands to the other fact, the raining, as effect to cause--the
ground is made wet by the raining.
