__ I own a spotted jellyfish, and her name is Clara. __ A compound sentence is a sentence composed of at least two independent clauses. It does not need or have a dependent clause. The two independent clauses are joined by a conjunction, but it whether or not the sentence requires the use of a comma, semicolon, colon, or otherwise depends entirely on the sentence. In some cases, the second independent clause in the sentence may undergo a slight change in phrase, as to get rid of extraneous wording, such as the restatement of the subject of the sentence. Conjunctions often used are //for,// //and, nor, but, or, yet,// and //so.//

IC: I own a spotted jellyfish. My spotted jellyfish's name is Clara. Conj.: and

Result: I own a spotted jellyfish, and her name is Clara. ("Her" being an indicator of "my spotted jellyfish" in the second clause.)

__ I listened to music before I came to class. __ A complex sentence is a sentence composed of an independent clause and at least one dependent clause. The dependent clause, or subordinate clause, exists to provide more information about the independent clause and possibly explain it further. If the two clauses are separated, the independent sentence should be able to stand alone as a simple sentence. Use of a comma depends on the sentence structure. Connector words usually indicate a complex sentence; most connector words indicate times and sequences, such as //before// and //after//.

IC: I listened to music DC: I came to class. Connector: before

Result: I listened to music before I came to class.

__ The necklace that her friend gave her was cheap, and she ended up selling it. __ A complex compound sentence is a sentence composed of at least two independent clauses and at least one dependent clause.

IC: The necklace was cheap. She ended up selling the necklace. DC: that her friend gave her Conj.: and Connector: that

Result: The necklace that her friend gave her was cheap, and she ended up selling it. ("It" being an indicator of "the necklace" in the second clause.)
