Upon the Burning of our House, July 10th 1666
                 by Anne Bradstreet
In silent night when rest I took,
For sorrow near I did not look,
I waken'd was with thund'ring noise
And piteous shrieks of dreadful voice.
 
5- That fearful sound of "Fire!" and "Fire!"
Let no man know is my desire.
I, starting up, the light did spy,
And to my God my heart did cry
To strengthen me in my Distress
 
10- And not to leave me succourless.*
Then coming out, beheld a space
The flame consume my dwelling place.
And when I could no longer look,
I blest His grace that gave and took,
 
15- That laid my goods now in the dust.
Yea, so it was, and so 'twas just.
It was His own; it was not mine.
Far be it that I should repine;
He might of all justly bereft'
 
20 - But yet sufficient for us left.
When by the Ruins oft I past
My sorrowing eyes aside did cast

Coordinating Conjunctions
One way of combining sentences to make your writing more mature is by using a coordinating conjunction. This makes two sentences into a single, compound sentence - a sentence with two separate subjects and two separate verbs.
Coordinating Conjunctions: FANBOYS
F: For
A: And
N: Not
B: But
O: Or
Y: Yet
S: So
Punctuation:
If you are putting two complete sentences together with a coordinating conjunction, you need a comma before the coordinating conjunction.
Example: Andrew woke up late. Andrew made it to school on time
Andrew woke up late, yet he made it to school on time. (Two complete sentences joined by comma and "yet.")
 
2) You can also combine sentences by making one of them incomplete. If you are joining a complete sentence with an incomplete sentence. (e.g. a phrase that does not have both a subject, and verb), you don't need a comma before the coordinating conjunction.
