1 answer:

4 0

When you are using a source in your paper, you can use a direct quote when you want to report the exact thing that the author said. In this case, the sentence must be put inside a quotation mark to show that you are quoting the author directly. When writing a paper that uses sources, you are expected to paraphrase the content, direct quote should only be used when it becomes absolutely necessary and the source must be acknowledged. This is very important in order to avoid plagiarism in your work.

Identify the underlined clauses either as subordinate or independent. 1. Because he ran, he was able to catch the bus. subordint

d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

The question is not complete, as none of the clauses in the sentence are underlined, however, I will give you the type of each of the two clauses:

Because he ran: (subordinate clause)

he was able to catch the bus. (independent clause)

Explanation:

A clause is a part of a sentence, and a clause contains a verb.

Subordinate/dependent clauses are clauses that cannot stand alone when isolated from a sentence, and still make complete sense, instead, they help to give further meaning to the main/independent clause. In this case "Because he ran", is not a complete thought on its own, as it leads to asking the question "so what?"

Independent/main clauses can stand alone and still make sense. In this example "he was able to catch the bus" can stand alone and still make sense.
