Answer:
b) Both an independent clause and a subordinate clause, when standing alone, are
followed by a period to end the sentence.
Explanation:
An independent clause is a group of words that has a subject and predicate but can make complete sense on their own.
EXAMPLE of an independent clause is "He opened the door"
EXAMPLE of a dependent clause is "when he heard the knock"
"He opened the door" can stand on its own and make perfect sense and can be ended with a period.
"when he heard the knock" is dependent and isn't usually ended with a period when standing alone.
Putting the clauses together, we have, "He opened the door when he heard the knock. " and this is a complex sentence.
Answer:
whom*
Explanation:
Whom is an objective pronoun that is used for formal English. It is used as the object of a verb or preposition. Whom should replace the object of the sentence. Consider who is having something done to them when finding the object of the sentence. The object is the person, place, or thing that something is being done to.
Who is used to provide more information about a person or people mentioned previously in a sentence. It is also a subjective pronoun. A subjective pronoun is a pronoun (I, me, he, she, etc.) that is used as the subject of the sentence. Who replaces the subject of the sentence.
Are you referring to someone who is doing something (who), or are you referring to someone who is having something done to them (whom)?
Hi,
In the first sentence, the subject is ‘you’.
In the second one it is ‘I’.
In the third one it is ‘You’.
To find the subject in a sentence you should look at the verb and find the person/people/thing that make the action the verb describes.
