How to recognize it is an independent clause or not?
Top answer
Hi Latchinglim, There are two forms of clause: an independent (or main ) clause and the dependent or subordinate clause. The first type can stand by itself as an independent sentence; it makes complete sense. The second type does not make sense by itself and must have with it an independent clause to complete the full meaning of an independent sentence.
