independent clause Определение На български

Examples of independent clause

• Grasping the system depends on discriminating dependent from independent clauses, and finite from nonfinite verb forms.

• An independent clause can be classified according to the sentence type; it may be "declarative" (making a statement), "interrogative" (asking a question), or "imperative" (giving an order).

• In an independent clause, the perfective verb is almost always understood as having occurred in the past, but can signal either a recent or a distant past.

• An independent clause contains a subject and a predicate; it makes sense by itself.

• The future subjunctive appears in dependent clauses that denote a condition that must be fulfilled in the future so that the independent clause will occur.

• Dependent clauses either modify the independent clause of a sentence or serve as a component of it.

• Since a dependent clause can not stand on its own as a sentence, complex sentences must also have at least one independent clause.

• A dependent clause without an independent clause is one example of an incomplete sentence.
