the option that correctly completes the sentence All right the
- 00:22
options are today and i believe in some form all
- 00:26
right people listen up clauses are tricky things For example
- 00:30
just how does santa claus get down the chimneys kind
- 00:33
of fat all right but we're not talking about sprightly
- 00:36
christmas carols here A grammatical klaus is a group of
- 00:39
ward's containing a subject and verb just that that makes
- 00:43
it a clause on their own But you can also
- 00:46
join multiple independent clauses together like this clause in that
- 00:49
clause was a conjunction such a cz and but if
- 00:53
you do that you're going to need to use a
- 00:55
comma in this sentence we've got two independent clauses who
- 00:59
sets the subject's two sets of herbs so we're going

clauses when there's no conjunction But there is a conjunction
- 01:29
in this ends and that means we're not using it
- 01:33
Sorry semi colon will have to find something else for
- 01:34
you to do So Answer b is correct because it
- 01:36
uses a comma followed by a conjunction to join the
- 01:39
two independent clauses correctly Next time we'll talk about dependent
- 01:43
clauses That's What santa becomes when he runs out his 00:01:45.877 --> [endTime] toy money Just ask me
