Hi,

An independent clause can function as a sentence by itself.

A dependent clause contains subject, and verb, but also contains a dependent marker such as: while, when, because, if, or as.

One way to punctuate a compound sentence correctly is to join the two independent clauses with a semicolon. You can also use a comma and a subordinating conjunction.
