Independent Clause Dependent Clause

A subject is the person or thing that is doing
something or being something. The subject
performs the verb.

A verb is the action word in a sentence.

Examples:

The dog jumped over the fence.

The subject of the sentence is the dog because the

dog is doing the action. The verb is jumped because
it is the action.
Independent clause
Independent clause adalah clause yang dapat berdiri sendiri sebagai bagian dari kalimat. Clause
ini disebut juga sebagai complete sentences.
Examples:

My mom is nice.

The teacher taught me how to read.

conjunction (and, but, or, nor, for, yet, so) FANBOYS
