Question

3. I planned to go to the hockey game, but I couldn't get tickets.is it compound sentence​

Answer 1

Answer:

Yes it is a compound sentence.

Explanation:

how to identify a compound sentence?

step 1 : Identify the conjuctions in the sentence. eg: and,but, because etc. ( In the above sentence the conjuction is 'but' )

step 2 : Divide the sentence in equal half leaving the conjuction.

example: I planned to go to the hockey game.

I couldn't get tickets.

If both the half of the sentence provides a complete meaning, then it is a compound sentence. In other words compound sentence is made up of two or more main clause connected using conjuction(s).
