ABSTRACT
The title of this paper is The Analysis of Compound Sentence Found in the
Jakarta post Newspaper. In this paper, the writer explains about the definition
1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 The Background of Study
Language is one of the important things in human’s life, it plays a great
role in human’s communication or in interacting to the others. By using the
language, people can express their feelings or get some informations. As the part
of culture, language has the rules which have to be followed by its users, for
example, the roles of sentences including simple sentence, compound sentence,
complex sentence, etc.
A sentence is a verbal structure that reflects something about the world. It
puts words in relation in order to map our understanding of the sensible structure
of the things. If we think any further along this line, we will be in the realm of the
linguistics philosophy, so let us keep the simple things. A sentence is a unit of
expression; it arranges the part of speech to mirror a perception or an
understanding. Word clusters named nominal, verbal, adjective, and adverbial are
combined to form the sentence. For example, we will use the sentence although
there is no general agreement on what a sentence really is.
The language used in the newspaper is to present the grammar and the
exact meaning of the language. And the compound sentence in the newspaper
plays the important rule in the sentence in order to make the reader understand the
idea of its contains. So in this occasion, the writer will try to make a brief of
Compound sentence found in the Jakarta post newspaper which is taken in the
daily newspaper. “The Jakarta Post newspaper” is one of the English Newspaper
1.2 Problem of Study
The writer would like to formulate the problems:
1. Most of people who want to communication in English do not understand
about the compound sentence and when we must use the compound sentence.
2. It is very often of the non-native speakers of English misinterpreted the
compound sentence. So they can not catch the idea of compound sentence.
3. To find out the types of sentence used in Jakarta Post Newspaper.
1.3 The Scope of Study
When we want to discuss about the compound sentence there will be a
problem of things to be discussed. As we know there are many kind of sentences
which are very important to study, but it is certainly impossible to explain them
one by one in this paper. Therefore on this occasion the writer wants to be limited
this discussion just focused in the compound sentence.
1.4 The Purpose of Study
The purpose of the study is to show the readers the pattern of the
compound sentence, to find out any types of the compound sentence used in the
Jakarta Post Newspaper and make the learners understand the usage of simple,
compound, complex and the compound-complex sentences. The writer also
wishes that the readers will know and understand about the kind of sentences and
when we must use them. And the writer really hopes that the learners can use
them correctly based on the English structure in the studies or in the daily
1.5 The Significance of Study
By writing this paper, the writer hopes that the learners can improve their
knowledge about English especially about the sentence and they can control it or
make it better when they connect to the others. In addition, the writer believes that
this paper can enrich the knowledge to the person who wishes to study about
English and it can be one of the literature materials for the knowledge’s
development.
1.6 The Method of Study
The method was applied for this writing is the library research. To
complete this paper, the writer will collect all the required data from the Jakarta
post Newspaper was published on Monday, November 15, 2010 at page 1, page 2
and Page 3. So it means that data are written in the Jakarta Post Newspaper.
In order to get the percentage of compound sentences that mostly occur in
the Jakarta Post Newspaper, the following formula from Nawawi (1991; 150) will
be used:
X x 100% = N
Y
N = Number of compound sentences
Y = Total number of all data
2. A BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF SENTENCES 2.1Definition of sentence
A sentence is a group of words which make a statement clearly (it may a
request, question, command, wishes or imperative) and it can be followed by a
period, question mark and imperative mark. The sentence contains the subject,
predicate, object and complement. The subject of the sentence includes the noun
or pronoun that does the thing as shown by the verb. Manurung (2007:58) says
that a sentence is a group of words that make sense to the reader or hearer,
contains both subject and predicate (verb) that expressed clearly or implied.
2.2 The Kind of Sentences
The sentences can be divided into four based on the kind, which each kind
have the different functions and pattern in English. The four kind of sentences are
Declarative, Interrogative, Imperative, and Exclamative sentence.
Declarative Sentence

3. THE TYPES OF SENTENCE
A sentence in English is traditionally described as a simple sentence, compound
sentence, complex sentence, or compound-complex sentence which they have
their own functions and their own pattern in English.
3.1 Simple Sentence
The simple sentence is a sentence which contains the subject and the
predicate and it has a complete meaning.
A simple sentence has a single subject and verb.
Examples:
- The girls dance. S V
- Most of the students like to study English. S V
- David eats the durians. S V
- They walk to the school every day. S V
- The teacher teaches English. S V
- My Mother went to Bali last month. S V
A simple sentence may have more than one subject.
Examples:

3.1.1 Subject
The subject of a sentence is a noun (it may the names of the person, place,
thing or idea) or pronoun (they, we, he, she, I, you and it) that do the things as
shown by the verb. The subject of the sentence usually comes first but sometimes
it put after the predicate.
Examples:
- My money were stolen by the robber
- The robber stole my money.
In the first sentence (which it is in the passive voice), my money is the subject
while the second sentence (active voice) the robber is the subject and my money is
the object.
- John broke the window.
- The window broke
In the first sentence, the window is the object, while in the second the window is
the subject. But the relation of the window to the event described by the sentence
is the same in two cases.
Forming the Subject.
A subject of the sentence can be formed in many ways. It can be formed
from the noun, gerund, phrase, infinitive or clause.
Examples:
- The farmers are at farm. (Noun)
- Eating is a pleasure. (Gerund)
- The large bus parked outside the building. (Phrase)
3.1.2 Predicate
A predicate (verb) is one of the two main parts of
something about the subject. The predicate must contain the verb and sometimes it
modifies the subject. There are two kind of verbs; action verb and linking verb.
The action verb is a word that expresses an action of the subject.
Examples:
- The dog barked loudly.
- She kissed me last night.
- He does all of his assignments everyday.
- My cousin went to Jakarta last month.
- She takes the breakfast every day.
A verb that consists of the auxiliary verb and verb is called a verb phrase.
Examples:
- The birds can fly high.
- She will study English tomorrow morning.
- He must obey the school rules.
- They are going to get up early tomorrow morning and go fishing.
- We must come to the campus on time.
The linking verb is the various forms of verb to be.
Examples:
- They were at the school at 7 yesterday.
- They are my friends.
- I am the student of D3 English Program at University of North Sumatra.
3.1.3 Simple Subject and Simple Predicate
The simple subject tells about who or what the sentence is talking about.
The simple subject is usually just a single noun. When the subject of a sentence
consists of several words, there is always one word which is more important than
the other word because it does the thing in the sentence.
Example:
- A piece of bread would satisfy his hunger.
The subject is the noun “piece“ with the other words of subject, “a“ and “of
bread“ modifying the noun. “Piece“ is the simple subject. Likewise, a sentence
has a simple predicate which always the verbs that link up with the subject.
Example:
- The young boy was punished by his mother.
In the example above the young boy is the simple subject and was punished is the
simple predicate.
3.2 Compound Sentence
A compound sentence is the sentence which consists of two main clauses
(independent clause) but there is no subordinate clause. The main clause is joined
together by a coordinating conjunction (and, but, or, nor, for, yet, so). And it is
placed a comma before the coordinating conjunction in a compound sentence.
Examples:
- My friend invited me to a tea party, but my parents did not let me go.
- Mary and Samantha arrived at the bus station before noon, and they left on the
- Philip and Erwin left on the train before l arrived, so I did not see them at the
train station.

cooking, and the others built the tents.

flattering Angelina on the class corner, but Didit is sleeping on his desk.
- Mary and Samantha left on the bus before I arrived, so I did not see them at
the bus station.
3.3 Complex sentence
A complex sentence is a sentence which consists of one main clause (a
complete statement) with one or more independent clause. The main clause is a
group of words that has both a
complet

3.5 The Uses of Simple, Compound and Complex Sentence
The Uses of Simple Sentence
A simple sentence in communication is commonly easy to understand because it
short and to the point. Generally, a clear communication will make a good using of
simple sentence, a final simple sentence after the detail can summarize the key point.
A simple sentence is consists of a single clause.
Examples:
- The dog sat on the mat.
- The cat ate the mouse.
- He sat on the chair.
- They studied English two hours ago.
- The girl talked to me yesterday.
A simple sentence consists of single clause and it states a clear statement.
Examples:
- The services at that hotel are expensive.
- The knowledge is expensive.
- The weather is cloudy.
- The inside of room is so cool.
A simple sentence uses to make an important point to the hearers and readers.
Examples:
- I hate you.
- The only missing you.
- I love you.
- I am longing on you.
- I miss you so much.
The uses of Compound Sentence
A compound sentence can be use to make a complex communication in daily
conversation, adding more detail to what would be a less informative of the
simple sentence.
Examples:
- She loves him, but he does not love her.
- I care with her, but she never care to me.
- Andy misses her girlfriend, but she does not miss Andy.
- I always do the assignment from the campus, but Dani never does the
assignment from the campus.
A compound sentence is used to make more complex and more persuasive
meaning of the sentence.
Examples:
- I want to take a lunch then go to the office.
- She wants to come to my house then to your house.
Compound sentences do not have to be complex. By keeping the simple clause,
you can still keep the whole of simple sentence.
Examples:
- She wants go to the theater so she has a good evening out.
- I must study hard every night so I can improve my knowledge.
- He must not come late to the school so he will not get the punishment.
- I must pay attention to the teacher’s explanations so l can understand the
lesson.
The Use of Complex Sentence
A complex sentence is used to emphasize one more idea in a sentence.
Examples:
- Because I forgot the final exam schedule, I missed the final exam.
- The English teacher at our school is very cruel to us so we hate him.
- The woman stopped at the store before she went home.
- Because of the rain, the museum cancelled the picnic.
- The idea that writer wants to emphasize here is that I missed the final exam,
the English teacher at our school is very cruel to us, the woman stopped at the
store, the museum cancelled the picnic are express as a complete thought. The
less important idea-because I forgot the exam schedule, so we hate him, before
she went home, Because of the rain are the subordinated to the complete
