Made up of two independent clauses (or complete sentences)
connected to one another with a coordinating conjunction.
"FAN BOYS" : For, And, Nor, But, Or, Yet, So.
Example :

2. We want to go to Hawai soon, so we need to save money.
 Complex Sentence
Made up of an two or more independent clauses and at
least one dependent clause.
