1-Independent Clause (Main Clause) : Direct Object

This document discusses different types of clauses. It defines a dependent clause as a part of a sentence that cannot stand alone and adds additional information to enrich writing. Dependent clauses typically start with subordinating conjunctions and do not express a complete thought. There are two main types of dependent clauses: adverb clauses, which describe verbs, adjectives or adverbs; and adjective clauses, which describe nouns or pronouns. An independent clause, on the other hand, is a complete sentence because it has a subject and verb and expresses a complete thought.
