Question

What is the independent clause in the following sentence?

Trevor was sleeping when the doorbell rang.

Answer 1

Trevor was sleeping.

Answer 2

A dependent clause is one that can't be used as a sentence by itself. They begin with subordinating conjuctions.

Answer 3

I would suggest you look over all the subordinating conjunction, so that way you can tell whether it is a dependent clause or not.
