simplysadie:

Okay so first we gotta know what a Clause is, do you know that one?

Falconmaster:

Independant clause is a clause that can stand alone

Falconmaster:

clause klôz/Submit noun 1. a unit of grammatical organization next below the sentence in rank and in traditional grammar said to consist of a subject and predicate. 2. a particular and separate article, stipulation, or proviso in a treaty, bill, or contract. synonyms: section, paragraph, article, subsection; More

Falconmaster:

simplysadie:

Okay so a Clause is a group of words that includes a subject and a verb. SO an Independent Clause is a clause that can stand alone as a sentence. So you were correct.
