Is this a compound senctance? If not, then show me how it should be. I have to use the "glue-words".

Question

He is big hearted for he loves me very much.

Answer 1

Yes, this is a correct use of "for" as a conjunction/glue word to make a compound sentence, but you need to insert a comma:

He is bighearted, for he loves me very much.

When you join two independent clauses to
form a compound sentence
If you use the words "and" "but" "or" "nor" "for" "yet" "so"
these require a comma before the conjunction/glue word.

He doesn't often show it, but he loves me very much.

If you use the words "however" "therefore" "otherwise"
these require a semi-colon before and a comma afterwards.

He doesn't often show it; however, he loves me very much.

The way to check if it is a compound sentence:
if you remove the conjunction/glue word, both of the
separate clauses should stand on their own as complete sentences:

He is bighearted.
He loves me very much.

Answer 2

He is big hearted, for he loves me very much.
You are missing the real glue, which is a comma. What you are calling "glue words" are actually conjunctions, and are not always necessary for a compound sentence.
A compound sentence is composed of at least two independent clauses, but no dependent clauses. The clauses are joined by a comma and a coordinating conjunction, a comma and a correlative conjunction, or a semicolon with no conjunction.

Examples:
He finally read the book , or so I thought.

The two independent clause are joined by a comma and
the coordinating conjunction "or."

Either he goes , or I go.

The compound sentence is held together by a comma and
the correlative conjunction "either ... or."

Mary understands math ; she has studied it for years.

Here, the two are joined by a semicolon, with no
conjunction.

Answer 3

A compound sentence is composed of at least two independent clauses, but no dependent clauses. A clause is a part of a sentence containing a subject and predicate. To be independent, the clause must make sense standing alone.
"He is big hearted" makes sense by itself and is an independent clause. "He loves me very much" also makes sense standing alone and is also a independent clause. Therefore the sentence, as written, is a compound sentence. It would also be compound if written as "He is big hearted and he loves me very much."

Answer 4

A sentence is compound if it uses two subjects and two different verbs. For is essentially the same word as "because". he is big hearted because he loves me very much. 'for' is a "glue-word". So yes, that is a compound sentence.

Answer 5

i'ld say this would make a better sentence.

He is such a big hearted man, and he loves me very much too.

a compound sentence needs a comma and a coordinating conjunction (in my example it would be AND).
