1) I like pie, so my sister brought some pie to the party. A compound sentence is a sentence that has two independent clauses joined by a comma and an article.  2) Purple is my favorite color, red is not. A complex sentence is an independent clause and a dependent clause together. 3) Commas can be used for independent clauses while semicolons are only for independent clauses. Semicolon pauses last longer than comma pauses.  Semicolons make the reader slow down while commas connect two thoughts that were unconnected before.  Commas are used in a series, compound sentences, quoted material, and with clauses, phrases, appositives, and introductory words. Also, commas create a pause for the reader.  Semicolons have a dramatic effect; they also can join two independent clauses.
