  1. The Simpsons Teach Sentences

  2. Independent Clause --- Marge • Marge is an independent woman. She can survive on her own.

  3. Independent (Marge) Clause • Just like Marge, an independent clause can survive on its own. It is a complete sentence which expresses a complete thought. • Subject + Verb
