Question

I need some help on independent and subordinate clauses plz and thank you

Answer 1

An independent clause is found in a compound sentence and occurs when each clause can operate as a complete sentence in it's own right.

A subordinate clause adds information but does not serve as a sentence in it's own right for example, it relies on the main clause within the sentence to make sense.

The sentence you construct would be a compound sentence and would read:

The journalist met a source at the hotel SO THAT he would get the facts for an article.
