An independent clause is a string of words that could stand alone as a complete sentence on their own. A dependent clause is a string of words that is not a complete sentence on its own.
For example:
When it rains outside, we prefer to catch the bus home from school.
When it rains outside is a dependent clause, because it is not a complete sentence on its own.
we prefer to catch the bus home from school is an independent clause, because it is a complete sentence on its own.
In sentences where two independent clauses are joined by conjunctions such as and, or, but, etc., put a comma at the end of the first clause.
If you don't use a conjunction (and, or, but, etc.) between two independent clauses, you do not use a comma. Instead, use a period or a semicolon to separate the two clauses.
