Jessica ate the cookies that her daughter baked for her.

Question

In one sentences, identify the bold words as an independent clause, dependent clause, or phrase, and explain their functions within the sentence. And write the answer like an 8th grader wrote it

Answer 1

"Jessica ate the cookies that her daughter baked for her."

- "Jessica ate the cookies" is an independent clause because it can stand alone as a complete sentence. It is the main action of the sentence.
- "that her daughter baked for her" is a dependent clause because it cannot stand alone as a complete sentence. It provides more information about which cookies Jessica ate and why.
