Answer 2

A sentence which contains two independent clauses with related ideas is referred to as a compound sentence.

One way to punctuate a compound sentence correctly is to join the two independent clauses with a semicolon and a coordinating conjunction such as when, if, and and so forth.

Fr example:

The birds leave their nests when the sun rises. Herein, 'when' act as a coordinating conjunction which joins two independent clauses.
