Question

Also what is a semicolon

Answer 1

An independent clause is a group of words that includes a subject and a verb and forms a complete thought. It can stand alone as a sentence.

A semicolon (;) is a punctuation mark used to connect closely related independent clauses or to separate items in a complex list. For example:

• Connecting independent clauses: "I have a big test tomorrow; I can't go out tonight."
• Complex list: "On our trip, we visited Paris, France; Rome, Italy; and Berlin, Germany."
