False, because a compound sentence is made up of two independent clauses joined by a coordinating conjunction (for, and, nor, but, or, yet, or so) and a comma or by a semicolon alone.

Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

A compound sentence is composed of two simple sentences joined by a semicolon or a comma with a coordinating conjunction, showing a clear connection between equal ideas. Imagine the relationship between simple sentences within a compound sentence as items on either side of a balance scale.
