Final answer:
To convert the simple sentence 'Turning to the left, you find the house of the doctor.' into a compound sentence, you can say 'Turn to the left, and you will find the house of the doctor.' This compound sentence combines two related ideas using the conjunction 'and'.
Step-by-step explanation:
Turning Simple Sentences into Compound Sentences
Converting a simple sentence into a compound sentence involves combining two or more independent clauses. An independent clause is a group of words that can stand alone as a sentence. We can create a compound sentence by coordinating conjunctions such as 'and', 'but', or 'so' or by using a semicolon. Here’s an example of turning the given simple sentence into a compound one:
Original Sentence: "Turning to the left, you find the house of the doctor."
Compound Sentence: "Turn to the left, and you will find the house of the doctor."
The sentence is now compound, as it contains two independent clauses connected by 'and'. The first clause ‘Turn to the left’ and the second clause ‘you will find the house of the doctor’ both can stand alone as sentences, but they are related and the conjunction 'and' shows the relationship between them.
