An independent clause contains a subject and a predicate and expresses a complete thought. Ex: Iwentto the amusement parkon Saturday. • A compound sentence consists of two or more independent clauses that are connected by a comma and a coordinating conjunction (for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so). A semi-colon may be used instead of a comma and FANBOYS. Ex: Iwentto the amusement parkon Saturday, butmy brother stayed home.

There will still be a lot of work to complete.
