Clause

a group of words that has a subject and a predicate.

Subject is generally the part of the sentence with the noun (person, place, thing, or idea)

Predicate is generally the part of the sentence with the verb (the action).

Independent clause can stand alone (complete sentence).

Dependent clause is part of a sentence and can not be alone (fragment).

When using a semi-colon ; you have to have a complete sentence on both sides of the semi colon.

For example:
