Identify the structure of each sentence.

The unreliable weatherman predicted sunny skies for the day of the party, so we all prepared for a torrential downpour.

1 answer

The sentence you provided is a compound sentence. It consists of two independent clauses:

  1. Independent Clause 1: "The unreliable weatherman predicted sunny skies for the day of the party"
  2. Independent Clause 2: "so we all prepared for a torrential downpour"

These two clauses are connected by the coordinating conjunction "so." Each clause can stand alone as a complete sentence, which is characteristic of compound sentences.
