I don't see the excerpt — could you paste the sentence(s) you want analyzed?
If you want to check yourself, here’s a quick guide:
- An independent clause has a subject and verb and can stand alone as a sentence. (e.g., "She left.")
- A dependent (subordinate) clause has a subject and verb but cannot stand alone; it usually begins with a subordinating word (because, although, when, if, since, that, which, who, etc.). (e.g., "because she was tired")
- Coordinating conjunctions (for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so) join independent clauses; a comma + FANBOYS or a semicolon often separates them.
If you paste the excerpt I’ll label each clause and tell you which statement is correct.
