User: Semi-colons are used to join one independent clause and one dependent clause. Is ths true or flase?

Weegy: That is false. It can be used between halves of a compound sentence. Actually, semicolons perform the opposite function. That is, they join two or more independent clauses whose main idea or meaning are similar. [ [ Additionally, semicolons may show a cause and effect relationship between two or more independent clauses. ] ]
