Clauses

Question 1

What is a main/independent clause?

Answer 1

A simple/minor sentence that can easily make sense on its own

e.g. The cat sat on the mat

Question 2

What is a subordinate/dependent clause?

Answer 2

A simple/minor sentence that doesn’t make sense on its own, therefore, it needs an independent clause in front or behind it

e.g. waiting for the food … (the cat sat on the mat)
