Do you use a comma and a conjunction when joining two independent clauses?

When joining two independent clauses you use a comma and a conjunction to join them. This is also known as IC + IC (Independent clause + Independent clause). Example: Jim studied for his exam in the library, and he was very quiet. You could also have a sentence called an DC + IC (Dependent Clause + Independent Clause). Example: When Jim studied in the library, he saw his old sixth grade teacher from last year.

What type of sentence contains at least two independent clauses?

An independent clause has a noun and a verb; basically, it is a simple sentence. You can make more complex sentences by combining two or more independent clauses (simple sentences.) A sentence that contains at least two independent clauses is called a "compound sentence."An example of a compound sentence is:"I was not going to answer this question, but then I decided to do it anyway."A compound sentence is essentially two complete sentences combined with a comma and a conjunction (for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so).
