1) I went to California this weekend, there was a wedding in the family. It's a compound sentence because it has two independent clauses (IC= I went to CA this weekend; IC= there was a wedding in the family). 2) When I got back from my trip to CA, my cat was mad at me for leaving him at home It's a complex sentence because it has one independent clause and one dependent clause (IC= my cat was mad at me for leaving him at home; DC= When I got back from my trip to CA). 3) 3-Commas are used for quotes, series and intro. words; semi-colons are used for emphasis on details and for the reader to slow down; commas connect incomplete thoughts 2- My best friends Shasten, Taylor, and Sierra are absolutely //insane--//but I love them anyway (use commas because it's a series/list of people/names); For cheer, we need to be able to be preppy all the time and have good endurance (use comma for introductory phrase/dependent clause) 1-I had to leave late on Thursday night to go to Cali; my little brother thankfully slept through the entire 7 hours car ride there (use a semi-colon because it combines two independent clauses)
