Dependent and Independent Clauses independent clause - can stand on its own as a sentence dependent clause - cannot stand on its own as a sentence To distinguish between simple, complex, or compound sentences, it is important to know what independent and dependent clauses are. Try saying the dependent clause out loud on its own; does it sound like a complete thought? © 2016 Time4Writing.com. All Rights Reserved. www.time4writing.com/free-writing-resources

Sentences can be simple, complex, or compound. A simple sentence has one independent clause. A complex sentence has one independent clause and one or more dependent clauses. A compound sentence joins two independent clauses. © 2016 Time4Writing.com. All Rights Reserved. www.time4writing.com/free-writing-resources

Simple Sentence A simple sentence has one independent clause with one or more subjects (nouns) and one or more predicates (verbs). It expresses a complete thought. Examples: The dog sat. The cat ate and sat. The dog and cat ate and sat. © 2016 Time4Writing.com. All Rights Reserved. www.time4writing.com/free-writing-resources

Compound Sentence Examples: I was too busy to play, so he went outside without me. (“so” is the conjunction that joins the two independent clauses) The game ended; our team lost. (the semicolon joins the two independent clauses) A compound sentence joins two independent clauses (sentences that could stand on their own) and separates them with a comma and a conjunction, or a semicolon. © 2016 Time4Writing.com.

Complex Sentence Example: When I walked downstairs, I had a big surprise. After he took the medicine, he immediately felt better. A complex sentence has one independent clause which can stand on its own as a sentence and one or more dependent clauses which cannot. In the examples above, can you figure out which is the independent clause and which is the dependent one? © 2016 Time4Writing.com. All Rights Reserved. www.time4writing.com/free-writing-resources

“I had a big surprise” is the independent clause because it could stand on its own. “When I walked downstairs” is the dependent clause because it is not a sentence on its own. “He immediately felt better” is the independent clause because it could stand on it’s own. “After he took the medicine” is the dependent clause because it is not a sentence on its own.
