compound sentence
A compound sentence is a type of sentence that has two or more independent clauses which are connected by a conjunction (like and, or, but) or punctuation (like semicolon or comma). Each of these clauses could stand alone as a complete sentence as they both express a complete thought.

Compound sentence
A compound sentence is composed of at least two independent clauses. It does not require a dependent clause. The clauses are joined by a coordinating conjunction, a correlative conjunction, a semicolon that functions as a conjunction, a colon instead of a semicolon between two sentences when the second sentence explains or illustrates the first sentence and no coordinating conjunction is being used to connect the sentences, or a conjunctive adverb preceded by a semicolon. A conjunction can be used to make a compound sentence. Conjunctions are words such as for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so. The use of a comma to separate two independent clauses without the addition of an appropriate conjunction is called a comma splice and is generally considered an error.
