Is the underlined clause independent or subordinate? Sally will finish her current project before she begins a new one. A. subordinate B. independent
Which part of the sentence is underlined? Or is the whole sentence underlined?
Do you know the definitions of each clause? :) If you can refer back to that, you will have you answer!
before she begins a knew one
Refer back to the definitions of a subordinate clause and an independent clause and then come back to try and answer :)
independent
Ok, and how do you figure that answer, James? :)
A independent clause is a sentence than can be said by itself and still makes sense. A subordinate clause is part of a sentence that can NOT be said by itself and make sense. "before she begins a new one"
Your answer would be subordinate :)
@Jessicabraham2000 -- do not give away answers please. thank you.
i looked up independent clause. and a subordinate clause is part of a sentence so its subordinate
Correct James :) good job.
Great, James!!! That's correct! ^_^
I'm sorry, am I not allowed to do that? I've only been on open study for a few days.
thanks so much
Your very welcome!!! :)
Openstudy encourages to explain the answer to the user. We try to make sure OS stays a "learning" site instead of one to go for a quick answer, see? A quick explanation is always best :) thanks.
