Is the underlined clause independent or subordinate? As soon as the music started, _the people began to dance_.

jabez177 (jabez177):

this is 2nd to the last 1

jabez177 (jabez177):

plz

OpenStudy (praetorian.10):

okay i need to research to rember so it says that An independent clause (or main clause) is a clause that can stand by itself, also known as a simple sentence. An independent clause contains a subject and a predicate; it makes sense by itself.

OpenStudy (praetorian.10):

and a clause, typically introduced by a conjunction, that forms part of and is dependent on a main clause (e.g. ‘when it rang’ in ‘she answered the phone when it rang’).

jabez177 (jabez177):

so subordinate

jabez177 (jabez177):

right

OpenStudy (praetorian.10):

well its simply either does it makes sense as a stand alone sentece? and i guess yeah it kinda does but then theres kinda and 'kinda' so probs subordinant

jabez177 (jabez177):

and this is subordinate 2 right

jabez177 (jabez177):

OpenStudy (arabpride):

<phacedesk> actually it's uhmm B.) "the phrase that we watch every Fourth of July" is a subordinate phrase (AKA a dependent clause) because it can't stand apart from the rest of the sentence and make sense at the same time~ It "depends" on the independent phrase clause: The Watsons put on a fireworks show~

OpenStudy (arabpride):

oops i meant the phrase "that we watch every Fourth of July"*** @jabez177 :D
