Talk:Compound sentence

To me the looks like the "New math" of the '60s or something found in books written by authors whose qualifications are in education rather than in mathematics. Is there any mathematician or mathematical logician who uses the phrase "compound sentence" in this sense? Michael Hardy 19:35 23 May 2003 (UTC)

Are you arguing that the "New Math" isn't good enough for the wiki? Pizza Puzzle

I think he's arguing that the context in which the term is used should be established in the article. -- Oliver P. 13:16 24 May 2003 (UTC)

If they must both be true, then this is just a Logical conjunction. I'll move anything there that we'll need and then redirect. -- Toby Bartels 06:28 12 Jun 2003 (UTC)

No, no. Compund sentences can be created using logical conjuction, disjunction or other logical binary operations or logical conditional. See Symbolic logic. The article probably should be redirected into symbolic logic. -- Taku 06:38 12 Jun 2003 (UTC)

OK, thanks! -- Toby Bartels 08:57 12 Jun 2003 (UTC)

Compound Sentences.
Hello,

I am a 60 year old grandmother, having had a grammar school education I think I should be able to answer most of the questions from my nine year old grandson. However, I was at a loss to explain what a complex and compound sentence was.

I "asked Jeeves" and he obligingly come up with some information and I eventually clicked onto wikipedia.

Could you email me with a simplistic description with maybe an example, also do you think this is a bit advanced for 9 year olds?
