Change into compound sentence.

Answer 1

Simple and Compound Sentences

1. Simple Sentence: Sentence has one subject and one clause.

Ex: In spite of working hard, The boy did not succeed.

• Here the main part of the sentence is 'The boy worked hard.' Dependent clause is 'In spite of working hard.'

• Above sentence has one subject coupled with a dependent clause.

2. Compound Sentence: Sentence has two subjects and two clauses.

It is two separate Simple sentences joined by a conjunction like and, but, etc..

Ex: The boy worked hard but did not succeed.

• Here, there are two separate Simple sentences -

The boy worked hard.

The boy did not succeed.

• They are paired as one sentence by using a conjunction 'but'

Now, let's observe the given question:

• We are given two sentences namely -

• The captain lost his temper. The player also did so.

• These are two Simple sentences. We have to join them together by using a conjunction. 'Losing temper' is common for both the subjects namely - 'Captain' and 'Player.'

So,

Answer is:

Both the Captain and the Player lost their temper.
