bIs the underlined clause independent or subordinate? Mr. Wilets is a teacher whom we all admire. A. independent B. subordinate

OpenStudy (jamescollins):

OpenStudy (ashleyisakitty):

From what @Sam2474 and I said last question, what do you think it is? Remember that independent means that it can be a sentence itself, and subordinate can not.

OpenStudy (jamescollins):

independent

OpenStudy (jamescollins):

I'm just trying to make sure I understand this

OpenStudy (ashleyisakitty):

Does "Whom we all admire." sound like a correct sentence to you?

OpenStudy (jamescollins):

no

OpenStudy (ashleyisakitty):

That means it a subordinate clause :) "Mr.Willets is a teacher" is the independent clause

OpenStudy (jamescollins):

ok I think I understand it better now

OpenStudy (ashleyisakitty):

"The cat is big and also fluffy". What is "The cat is big" ?

OpenStudy (jamescollins):

OpenStudy (ashleyisakitty):
