An independent clause is a part of a sentence that can stand alone as a complete sentence. It contains a subject and a predicate (verb) and expresses a complete thought.
In contrast:
- An incomplete sentence lacks either a subject or a predicate and does not express a complete thought.
- A phrase is a group of words that does not contain a subject-verb combination and does not express a complete thought.
- A sentence fragment is a group of words that is punctuated as a sentence but does not form a complete thought, often missing a subject or a verb.
So the correct description of an independent clause is that it is a **sentence that can stand alone**.
