Answer 14

An independent clause can stand alone as a complete grammatical sentence. It contains the main subject and verb of the sentence. It might or might not have an object. Example : A cat is in the room. The cat......is....in the room.-- Subject....Verb.....Prepositional Phrase Showing Place

Answer 15

Haha, I know! Well, my birthday was a couple days after the cut off date at school, so if if I were born a couple days earlier, I would be in tenth grade. :) But I take tenth and eleventh grade classes

Okay, yeah that makes sense! Thank you! What about subordinate clauses?

Answer 18

Yeah, haha. Uhm I don't mean to sound weird or anything, but you should add me on facebook, then it would be easier to talk, because this cite is acting weird from my laptop. Yeah subordinate clause, give me a sec to type

Answer 19

A dependent clause cannot stand alone as a grammatical sentence because of an extra element that changes an independent clause into a dependent clause. It must always be connected to an independent clause. For example:
•Because I was late

Extra element + Independent clause = Dependent clause
Because I was late
Subject Verb Adjective
