An independent clause in a compound sentence is simply just two independent clauses in one sentence; one before the conjunction and one after. For example:
"Abigail Adams was the wife of President John Adams and the First Lady."
The independent clause in this sentence would be "Abigail Adams was the wife..." and "...the First Lady."

First of all a simple sentence has a independent clause:Janet walked to school.A compound sentence has two simple sentences inside it with a conjunction/joining word to join it:Janet walked to school, the others rode their bikes.A complex has an independent clause and a dependent clause inside one sentence:Janet walked to school, but the others didn't.A independent clause makes sense on it's own but a dependent clause doesn't.
What are the classification of sentences?
The basic grammatical structure of a sentence in English is the subject, followed by the predicate. Basically, there is a subject and a verb.

It can be, but it doesn't have to be. They are always a part of Compound sentences, because a coordinating conjunction joins one independent clause to another.
What is the definition of independent clause?
An independent clause is a group of words that can stand on their own as a sentence. Something like "Johnny ate the apples." An independent clause has to have the same requirements as a sentence (Subject and verb), and has to be able to stand alone.The reason it isn't the same thing as a sentence is that we discuss independent and dependent clauses as parts of simple, compound, and complex sentences. Therefore, the sentence could be "Johnny ate the apples, which prevented mom from making her famous apple pie." "Johnny ate the apples" is still an independent clause, but it is part of a larger sentence (in this case it is joined to a dependent clause and the sentence is a complex sentence).If the sentence were joined to another independent clause, the sentence would be compound (and yes, you can have compound-complex sentences, which require at least two independent clauses and one dependent clause).AnswerPart of a sentence that makes sense by itself. Here is an example. the italics is the independent clause.The dog ran very far across the beach.
