Is the underlined clause independent or subordinate? The cat knocked over the cake that Theo baked yesterday. A. independent B. subordinate
that theo baked yesterday
Let's see, use the phrase "that Theo baked yesterday" as a sentence. Is it a complete sentence? No, it just says "that Theo baked yesterday", it doesn't say what he baked. If it was just "Theo baked yesterday", it would be complete. Let's use the first part of the sentence "The cat knocked over the cake", can you use that as a sentence? Yes, "The cat knocked over the cake". Now let's look at both of them. "The cat knocked over the cake that Theo baked yesterday" , "The cat knocked over the cake" is independent, you can use it by itself in a sentence. "that Theo baked yesterday" is incomplete and cannot stand alone in a sentence, therefore it is a subordinate clause.
