An independent clause refers to a group of words (found in a sentence) that contains both a subject and a predicate. And <em>the predicate of a sentence</em> is simply a verb explaining what the subject does.
Therefore, here are all the words that make up the two independent clauses below:
Subject = <em>Erik Killmonger</em>
Predicate = signed up for knitting lessons; (he) <u>wanted to make his own sweaters.</u>
