1.2.1 Main clause.
An independent clause is a complete sentence; it contains a subject and verb and
expresses a complete thought in both context and meaning.
Ex: The door opened
A group of words made up of a subject and a predicate. A main clause (unlike a
dependent clause) can stand alone as a sentence.
Ex: ―I can believe anything, provided that it is quite incredible‖ (Oscar Wilde)
Independent clauses can be joined by a coordinating conjunction to form
complex or compound sentences (and, or, yet, but, nor, for, so)
Ex: The door opened and the man walked in
Every main clause will follow this pattern:
[Subject + verb = complete thought.]
Ex: The pupils were talking noisily when the teacher came in
