Question

Is the underlined clause independent or subordinate?

Answer 1

A subordinate clause, or a dependent clause is a group of words that cannot form a sentence.

Now ask yourself, can 'I wrote the number on a notepad' stand alone ? Yes, it can.

Now an independent clause, is a group of words with a subject and a predicate, and it can stand alone as one sentence.

Since 'I wrote the number on a notepad' can stand alone, it is considered as an independent clause.


I hope that makes sense. ^_^
