Independent Clause  What does the word independent mean? Something can function by itself. Can the clause on the right function as a complete sentence on its own?  Steven loves to sleep in during the Winter Break, and Penelope enjoyed getting up early and jogging.

Independent Clause Yes, it can. Therefore the clause is independent.  Steven loves to sleep in during the Winter Break, and Penelope enjoyed getting up early and jogging.

Subordinate (Dependent) Clause  What does the word dependent mean? Reliant, needy Does the clause on the right need more to be a complete sentence?  It is obvious Tybalt has some anger issues because he is always looking for a fight.
