    Type your answers into the spaces provided.

    An independent clause is a group of words containing a subject and verb that expresses a complete thought and stands alone as a sentence.

    A dependent clause contains a subject and verb but does not express a complete thought. In other words, it depends on other words to make it a complete sentence.

    Identify the underlined clause in each sentence as independent or dependent. Be sure to spell the words correctly.
