How could you combine two sentences with a dependent adjectival clause?
In English an independent clause is usually ended with a period. (a.k.a. a complete sentence). You can put together by putting a semicolon or a comma at the end of the clause so that the sentences run on smoothly but are not run-on sentences. i.e. (2 independent clauses) I have a red car that I will clean today. After I clean my red car, I'm going to go shopping. When combining them and adding a conjunctive adverb the sentence will read: I have a red car that I will clean today; thereafter, I'm going to go shopping. This is not accurate. You can only combine two independent clauses with a semi colon or a coordinating conjunction. Using a comma is called a commasplice and is considered a run on sentence. Use a semi colon or a conjunction such as: yet, and, so,but, or,nor, and for.
