An independent clause is a sentence that can have a complete meaning and can convey an easily understandable meaning to the reader without needing a complement, that is, this is a clause that does not depend on another clause to be coherent. In the poem "Crossing the Bar" by Alfred, Lord Tennyson, we can see an example of an independent clause in the line "The flood may bear me far." As we can see, we can understand the meaning of this line, even without having the other lines of the poem to complement it. This is an independent clause.
