Punctuating two or more independent clauses Two independent clauses may be written as two separate sentences—utilize a period and a capital letter to correct

Punctuating two or more independent clauses Two independent clauses may be divided with a comma and a coordinating conjunction (and, but, so, etc.)

Punctuating two or more independent clauses Two independent clauses may be separated by a semicolon.

Punctuating two or more independent clauses Two independent clauses may be separated by semicolon, a conjunctive adverb (however, therefore, moreover, nonetheless, etc.), and a comma

Punctuating two or more independent clauses Two independent clauses may be separated by a colon if the first introduces a second clause which modifies the first. This usage occurs infrequently—do not force!
