Is “everyone went to the dance, but me” a compound sentence?

Answer:

"Everyone went to the dance, but me," is not a compound sentence.

Explanation:

A compound sentence is--similarly to the sentence in the question--something a comma is present within. The similarities basically end there. A compound sentence is the joining of two separate thoughts with--in general--the first being a <em>complete sentence</em> with a subject, and the second being an <em>incomplete sentence</em>, but having a different subject.

  • "I just lost my dog, but my cat seems to be happy about it." is a compound sentence.

In the above sentence, the first clause is a complete thought that could be on its own,

  • "I just lost my dog."

but the second sentence is incomplete without the first even with a subject and verb.

  • "But my cat seems to be happy about it."

That's the best explanation I can give on compound sentences.

In your case with the sentence, "Everyone went to the dance, but me," there may be a subject, verb, and <u>complete sentence</u> in...

  • "Everyone went to the dance."

but even with, "But me." being incomplete, the fact there is no subject nor verb removes the possibility of it being a compound sentence.
