Clause Types- REVIEW
Independent & Dependent … and …
Independent Clause (IC) Ind.vs.Dep.ClausePractice
An independent clause is a
S + V / O bject
unit that expresses a complete thought and could
stand on its own as a simple sentence.
Whether you find an independent clause by itself as a
simple sentence or joined with other clauses, you
will be able to identify it because it:


is a S+V/ unit that
expresses a complete thought
Dependent Clause (DC)
A dependent clause is a
S + V / O bject
unit that does not express a complete thought and
can not stand on its own as a simple sentence.
A dependent clause must always be connected to an
independent clause. You will be able to identify it
because it:
 is a S+V/ unit that
 does not express a complete thought on
its own
Dependent Clauses
There are
3 different types of dependent clauses.
• Noun Clause (NC)
• Adjective Clause (AdjC)
