Day 75: Use compound sentences with but to emphasize the importance of your ideas.
A compound sentence is made from two or more complete sentences (i.e., independent clauses) joined by a conjunction. Consider this sentence.
“Tom is an engineer, but he loves painting.”This compound sentence comprises two complete sentences: 1) “Tom is an engineer” and 2) “he loves painting.” These two independent clauses are joined by the conjunction “but.”
One way to emphasize the importance of your ideas (i.e., make them interesting and valuable to the reader) is to contrast two ideas using the conjunction but. Let’s look at the example above to discuss this.
We could have written “Tom is an engineer. He loves painting.” This gives us a rather dull description of Tom by presenting two unconnected facts. The reader may ask, “And this is important why?”
However, if you want to demonstrate that these descriptors are important, you would apply this tip to get “Tom is an engineer, but he loves painting.” Now what this sentence says is that Tom is interesting—he is unique because he loves painting and most engineers don’t.
Using this sentence structure and the word but, we have emphasized the importance of both ideas.
