Independent Clauses

*Can be a stand-alone sentence

*Have three essential pieces (1) Subject: someone or something that does an action, is being described, or is being discussed (He, Bob, Love, the puppy, the bride, a cat, independent clauses, what you think) (2) Conjugated verb: a word that is stuck with the subject and would change if the subject changes … a word that can be past or future … or a helping verb (is, are, plays, dances, stinks, could, should, would) (3) Feels completed: “It is” is complete; “If she loves” is not.

Dependent Clauses

*Can NOT be a stand-alone sentence

*Fall into three basic categories (1) CLAUSE IN DRAG (-ing word without “is, are, were, was, could, should, might, would, used to, may, etc) (2) INCOMPLETE “COMPLETEY” WORD (3) NO VERB (4) WHICH/that SENTENCES
