Question

Identify the sentence type. I want to buy those shoes, but I don’t have enough money. a. simple c. complex b. compound d. compound-complex

Answer 1

b. compound

Step-by-step explanation:

A compound sentence is a sentence containing two or more independent clauses with related ideas, and that may be joined by a semicolon or a coordinating conjunction like and, but, so, for, nor, or, yet.

The sentence provided is a compound sentence because it consists of two independent clauses: “I want to buy those shoes” and “I don’t have enough money” (They are independent because they express complete thoughts on their own) that are joined by the coordinating conjunction “but.”

Answer 2

The answer is B, "COMPOUND"

Compound sentences are those when two clauses are put together with a conjunction. conjunctions are useful in putting adjectives, adverbs, verbs, or clauses together.

So, in the sentence given we can identify:

Clause 1: I want to buy those shoes

Conjunction: But

Clause 2: I don't have enough money
