Explanation:

A compound sentence is a sentence containing two independent clauses or more with related ideas, and that may be joined by a semicolon or a coordinating conjunction like and, but, so, for, nor, or, yet. As for independent clauses, they are groups of words containing a subject and a verb that expresses a complete thought and could stand on their own.
