Subject + Verb
Okay, dependent or independent clauses need to have a subject (noun) and predicate (verb.) A subject is the noun that is doing the main action in the sentence. Bob cried. Bob is the subject. The predicate-verb is cried.
Independent Clauses and Dependent Clauses
Clauses can be independent (complete) or dependent (incomplete). If you add an AAAWWUBBIS word to the beginning of a independent clause, it becomes dependent.
Ricky broke both legs = independent clause When Ricky broke both legs = dependent clause
In the comments section write a sentence that has an AAAWWUBBIS word, a dependent clause, a comma, and then an independent clause.
AAAWWUBBIS + clause + comma + clause + period (full stop).
Examples:
If you do not understand the directions, you can read them again.
Before you write the sentence, you should read other people's sentences.
After you have read them all, you can try to use a different AAAWWUBBIS word.
Although you may not understand all this, you can follow the examples.
