Answer 1

Hello there!

Explanation: Independent clause it express complete thoughts. It can also stand alone as sentences. It has a subject and a verb. Differentiate between independent and dependent clauses by checking to see whether the clause expresses a complete thought. Dependent clauses it does not express by complete thoughts. It cannot stand alone as sentences. It has a subject and a verb.

Independent clauses sentences: Chris will finish it. The cat's toy is lost.

Dependent clauses sentences: When the party begins. Since Alyssa has a new game.

For example of independent clauses:

1. I was late.

2. We had a good time.

3. We will meet again tomorrow.

For example of dependent clauses:

1. Even though I was late.

2. Because we had a good time.

3. When we meet again tomorrow.

Hope this helps!
