 *  · add a comma and a conjunction such as and, but, or, so, yet; = compound sentence ****Sarah went to the football game__, and__ she bought a drink and nachos. **


 *  · place a semicolon between the sentences; do not capitalize the next word ****Sarah went to the football game; she bought a drink and nachos. **


 * · Add a subordinating conjunction like because, since, while, if... either at the beginning of the sentence or to separate the two sentences = complex sentence ****__When__ Sarah went to the football game__,__ she bought a drink and nachos. ****Sarah bought a drink and nachos __when__ she went to the football game. **[|**WATCH A BRAIN POP VIDEO!**]
