Compound Sentences
A compound sentence consists of at least two independent clauses.
It does not require a dependent clause. The clauses are joined by a
conjunction, a semicolon ( ; ), and a colon ( : ) that functions as a
conjunction.
A conjunction can be used to make a compound sentence. The function
of conjunction is to join or to connect two independent clauses. That is
why a conjunction also can be known as a connector.

There are three kinds of conjuctions that are often used in compound
sentences: coordinate connectors, adverb connectors, and cause
connectors.
