Question

what is independent and dependent clause please explain as simply

Answer 1

Answer:

An independent clause is a sentence that has a subject and a verb and requires no extra information to understand. Dependent clauses, which start with subordinating conjunctions such as "while," "that," or "unless," give background information but cannot stand on their own as sentences.

Answer 2

INDEPENDENT AND DEPENDENT CLAUSES:

An independent clause is a group of words that can stand on its own as a sentence: it has a subject, a verb, and is a complete thought.

Examples:

· He ran. (Notice that while this sentence only contains two words, it is still a complete sentence because it contains a one word subject and a one word predicate that is also a complete thought.)

· He ran fast.

· I was late to work.

· The paper does not specify which type of format it must be in.

· The instructor spent the class period reviewing the difference between independent and dependent clauses.


A dependent clause is a group of words that also contains a subject and a verb, but it is not a complete thought. Because it is not a complete thought, a dependent clause cannot stand on its own as a sentence; it is dependent on being attached to an independent clause to form a sentence.

Examples:

· Because I woke up late this morning… (what happened?)

· When we arrived in class… (what occurred?)

· If my neighbor does not pay his rent on time… (what will happen?)
