Compound Sentence Using Yet with Examples

Hi there, you must have read some posts relating to the compound sentence on this learning platform. However, I want to discuss with you Compound Sentence Using Yet with Examples. A compound sentence has two main clauses which are usually joined by a coordinating conjunction. See Coordination and Subordination; What is a Compound Sentence?) In some instances, the three coordinating conjunctions are sometimes replaced with the conjunction ‘yet’.

The Conjunction ‘Yet’

‘Yet belongs to two Parts of Speech: the adverb and the conjunction. As a conjunction, it means ‘however at the same time’; ‘in spite of that’ and ‘nevertheless’ as in:

• Emma wished he would be less pointed, yet could not help being amused

Scholars have referred to ‘yet’ as a ‘marginal conjunction’. It is however different from the three coordinating conjunctions: and, but, or.
