It's a nonessential word, clause, or sentence added to an already grammatically complete sentence. It's most commonly set off by brackets, but it can also be set off by commas or dashes. 

Example:
My mother went to the supermarket and picked up some strawberries (my favorite fruit) earlier today.

In the following sentence, are the words in italics an independent clause, a subordinate clause, or a fragment?
harkovskaia [24]

Since there are no words in italics, let's analyze both parts of the sentence to know if they are independent clauses, subordinate clauses, or a fragment.

- The first part of the sentence is "<u>Although that particular source may not appear reasonable and accurate</u>." This is a subordinate clause.

It begins with a subordinating conjunction, "although", and it does not convey a complete thought on its own.

- The second part of the sentence is "<u>it is</u>." This is an independent clause.

This means this clause is capable of standing alone as a sentence and conveying a complete thought. Some words are, however, omitted because they were already mentioned in the subordinate clause.

  • The sentence we are analyzing here consists of an independent clause and a dependent one.
  • However, that may be difficult to see at first because the independent clause has omitted some words.
  • The reason for that is the fact that those words have already been mentioned in the subordinate clause. To avoid repetition, we omit them.
  • But, to better understand the clauses, let's rewrite them with the omitted words. Let's also place the independent clause first:

"<u>That particular source is reasonable and accurate, although that particular source may not appear reasonable and accurate.</u>" - See how repetitive it is?

  • Now, it is easier to visualize:
  1. "<u>It is</u>" (or "that particular source is reasonable and accurate) - independent clause expressing a complete thought.

    2. "<u>Although that particular source may not appear reasonable and accurate</u>" - dependent clause; has a subordinating conjunction; does not express a complete thought on its own.
