more simple sentences joined by a comma and a conjunction (and,
but, or, for, so, yet), or only by a semicolon.
Example: I've been to New York, but I have only
seen pictures of San Diego. (Notice the comma and conjunction)
Example: My face and throat are sore; I must
have the flu. (Notice only the semicolon)
