What's a clause? I am not understanding what an independent clause is when using a comma or semicolon?  How do I know wether to use a comma or semicolon? Please give example.

<Edited: The word is grammar. Also, it would REALLY help us, as Francesca has already pointed out in another post, if you would use the subject line to give an idea of what the subject is. In this case, for example, you could have called it "Help with clauses" or something like that.
