Independent Clauses in Compound Sentences Exercise
An independent clause can stand alone as a sentence. An independent clause contains both a subject and a verb, and it expresses a complete thought.
A compound sentence is composed of at least two independent clauses.
Techniques to Join Independent Clauses
There are four techniques used to join independent clauses in a compound sentence.
1. comma and a coordinating conjunction (for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so).
2. semicolon.
3. a semicolon and a transition word (therefore, however, hence, thus…etc.)
4. a colon.
