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.
