Grammar
Hello all,
I am here to get some feedback on my latest attempt on dependent vs independent clauses.
I have struggled wit these for some time (as an ESL learner)
The following examples are what I believe is correct. If I can get someone who is experienced with these to give me some feedback about the number of dependent clauses per sentence, I would be very appreciative.
I have identified all of the dependent clauses in each sentence to the best of my ability.
1). We are praying he will attempt to run for mayor of our town in the next election. (0)
2). Bill thinks you should run. (0)
3). Give me some of that ice cold tea with lemon chunks. (0)
4). [Running for the the truck], she fell and bruised her elbow and [later went to the doctor]. (2)
5). Let's go out for snow cones [following the game if you want to]. (1)
6). I cannot believe what you are telling us is the truth because bill has never been in distress. (0) (2 independent)
Thanks for the support of all,
-Sara B.
