8: Conjunctions<br />
Internal Compounds<br />
We have already described how two (or more) main clauses can be joined together by co-ordinate conjunctions to create a Compound Sentence. But the internal parts of a sentence<br />
(e.g. the subject, the verb, the object, the indirect object) can be compounded through co-ordinate conjunctions. Consider the following example:<br />
101<br />
Tom and Jan will give or sell their bicycle to Bob, Nadine, and Willie.<br />

Notice that we have a compound subject (additive), a compound verb (alternative), and a compound indirect object (additive) created by coordinate conjunctions. As you can<br />
imagine, the possibilities are endless! We will use a diagramming strategy that creates “rocket” shapes to accommodate the expansion of parallel (co-ordinate) elements in a sentence.<br />
[There are no precise rules for how to do this. Though the basic idea is clear, many variations in diagramming such matters are possible.]<br />
