Both independent and dependent clauses are groups of words that contain a subject and a verb. The difference is that an independent clause expresses a complete thought and a dependent clause does not. So, an independent clause can stand alone as a sentence.
There are four different sentence structures: simple, compound, complex, and compound-complex.
We are going to work with the two first ones: SIMPLE and COMPOUND. We can combine two independent clauses using a period, a semicolon, or coordinating conjunctions. It is necessary to do it so you can avoid run-on sentences.
Period: We have a new student. He is from Italy.
Semicolon: We have a new student; he is from Italy.
Coordinating conjunction: We have a new student, and he is from Italy.
A coordinating conjunction is a word that joins two elements: two verbs, two adjectives, two phrases, two independent clauses, and so on. They are used to make the ideas sound more fluent.
When using them to join two independent clauses, use a comma before the conjunction. It is easier to remember all the coordinating conjunctions with the acronym FANBOYS (For, And, Nor, But, Or, Yet, and So).

Run-ons, comma splices, and fused sentences are all names given to compound sentences that are not punctuated correctly. The best way to avoid such errors is to punctuate compound sentences correctly by using one or the other of these rules.
~
1. Join the two independent clauses with one of the coordinating conjunctions (and, but, for, or, nor, so, yet), and use a comma before the connecting word.
He enjoys walking through the country , and he often goes backpacking on his vacations.
~
2. When you do not have a connecting word (or when you use a connecting word other than and, but, for, or nor, so, or yet between the two independent clauses) use a semicolon ;
He often watched TV when there were only reruns ; she preferred to read instead.
or
He often watched TV when there were only reruns ; however, she preferred to read instead.
~
So, run-ons and fused sentences are terms describing two independent clauses that are joined together with no connecting word or punctuation to separate the clauses.
❌ They weren’t dangerous criminals they were detectives in disguise.
✔ They weren’t dangerous criminals; they were detectives in disguise.
❌ I didn’t know which job I wanted I was too confused to decide.
✔ I didn’t know which job I wanted, and I was too confused to decide.
