  7. 3-31 Study Skills Learning Targets: I will review and identify independent and dependent clauses. Independent and Dependent Clauses • One difference between an independent and a dependent clause is the type of word it starts with. • Independent Clauses do not start with a subordinator. • Dependent Clauses do start with a subordinator.

  8. 3-31 Study Skills Learning Targets: I will review and identify independent and dependent clauses. Independent and Dependent Clauses • A dependent clause is combined with an independent clause to make a longer sentence. • These example sentences with two clauses are called complex sentences. They have both an independent and a dependent clause. Examples: When Ronnie gets here, let’s start the music. If Denise comes to class late, I’ll tell her the assignment. The battery which I bought last weekend is defective.

  9. 3-31 Study Skills Learning Targets: I will review and identify independent and dependent clauses. Independent and Dependent Clauses • Sometimes two independent clauses are put together to make a longer sentence. • This is done with a comma and a FANBOYS conjunction. • These examples are called compound sentences. • A sentence can be both compound and complex. Examples: Dogs bark, andcats meow. The weather is beautiful today, soI’ll take a walk.
