Good try, everyone. But I see a number of problems.
Henry, your first sentence adds an independent clause, not a phrase. Also, you do not need a comma in front of "because".
Janet, your third sentence adds a dependent clause, not an independent one.
Arzoo, your second sentence adds an infinitive phrase, not a dependent clause. Also, you were instructed not to use a semi-colon in this exercise.
Rajwah, you seem to have followed Arzoo's lead in using an infinitive phrase rather than a dependent clause in your second sentence.
