Consider the statement 'Abbas is a member of PMI and he Golkar Party cadres'. It is a compound sentence, since this sentence comes from two simple sentences - 'Abbas, a member of the Red Cross' and sentence 'He (Abbas) is the Golkar Party cadres' - and the conjunctive 'and'. Compound sentences like this are called conjunctions. Conjunction with two or more statements that are connected by conjunctions and. We use the symbol ^ to represent the word and, then, conjunctions 'p ^ q' represents a compound sentence 'p and q'.
EXAMPLE

p: Abbas, a member of PMI
q: Abbas is a Golkar cadre
Express the following compound statement using symbols:
a. Abbas is a member of the Red Cross and the Golkar Party cadres
b. Abbas, a member of PMI and he's not the Golkar Party cadres
COMPLETION
a. p ^ q
b. p ^ ~ q
