🔍 Understanding the Task:


An independent clause is a group of words that contains a subject and a verb and expresses a complete thought. It can stand alone as a sentence.

You are probably asked to:
1. Identify which parts of each sentence are independent clauses.
2. Possibly underline or label them.
3. Understand how they function in compound or complex sentences.

Example of How to Solve This Type of Problem:



Let’s say one of the sentences is:

> "She finished her homework, and she went to bed."

- Independent Clause 1: "She finished her homework" → has subject ("She") and verb ("finished"), complete thought.
- Independent Clause 2: "she went to bed" → also has subject and verb, complete thought.
- These two clauses are joined by the coordinating conjunction "and".

So, both are independent clauses.

🛠️ Steps to Solve Each Sentence:


For each sentence:
1. Look for subjects and verbs.
2. Ask: Does this part make sense on its own?
3. If yes → it's an independent clause.
4. If no → it might be a dependent clause (needs more info).

💡 Common Clues:


- Coordinating conjunctions (FANBOYS: For, And, Nor, But, Or, Yet, So) often join two independent clauses.
- Subordinating conjunctions (e.g., because, although, since) introduce dependent clauses.
