There are two compound sentences: "I didn’t plan on spending my weekend in a basement watching someone else play video games, yet here I am" and "Eat all your vegetables or you’ll get no ice cream tonight".
<u>A compound sentence is a sentence made up of two or more independent clauses that are joined with a conjunction</u>. At the same time, in contrast to dependent clauses, independent clauses, which contain a subject and a verb, can stand by themselves as complete sentences. <u> The first compound sentence is made up of two independent clauses</u> ("I didn’t plan on spending my weekend in a basement watching someone else play video games" and "here I am"). <u>They have been joined with the coordinating conjunction "yet"</u>. Moreover, <u>the second compound sentence is also made up of two independent clauses</u> ("Eat all your vegetables" and "you’ll get no ice cream tonight"). <u>They have been joined with the conjunction "or"</u>.
