Question
Identify the independent clause from the following sentence.
She was a handful when she was a kid.
- She was a handful
- When she was a kid
- None of the above
Hint:
An independent clause is a clause that has a meaning in itself and it has a subject & predicate in it.
The correct answer is: She was a handful
"She was a handful" is an independent clause because it can express thought itself and it has the subject 'She' and the predicate 'was a handful' in it.
"When she was a kid" can't express a thought itself without the independent clause. It is a dependent or Subordinate clause.
