Introduction to Compound Sentences and Coordinating Conjunctions
In recent films and TV series, writers often use compound sentences to enhance the flow of dialogue and narration. For example, in a popular superhero movie, the hero might say, 'I could save the world, or I could stay silent,' which connects two related ideas with the coordinating conjunction 'or'. Such sentences allow writers to present contrasting or related ideas smoothly, making the storyline more engaging for audiences familiar with pop culture references.
