Sentence Types & Clauses

The given sentence "Javair packed our lunches" is a complete thought that can stand alone as a sentence. It has a subject (Javair) and a verb (packed), and it expresses a complete idea. Therefore, it is an independent clause.

The given statement "we made the sandwiches" is a complete sentence that can stand on its own and express a complete thought. It has a subject ("we") and a predicate ("made the sandwiches"). Therefore, it is an independent clause.

The given answer is "Dependent clause" because the phrase "Because whole wheat bread is good for you" cannot stand alone as a complete sentence. It is dependent on the rest of the sentence for its meaning and does not express a complete thought.

The given correct answer is "Dependent Clause" because it starts with a subordinating conjunction "even though" which indicates that it cannot stand alone as a complete sentence. A dependent clause relies on an independent clause to form a complete thought, and in this case, the independent clause is missing.

The dependent clause "After Sheika came home" indicates a time sequence and sets the context for the actions that follow. It establishes the cause-and-effect relationship between Sheika coming home and her subsequent actions of washing the dishes and wiping the floor. The independent clause "she washed the dishes and wiped the floor" contains the main actions of the sentence and can stand alone as a complete thought.

The given correct answer is "Dependent Clause" because it starts with the subordinating conjunction "since" and does not express a complete thought on its own. It relies on the rest of the sentence for meaning and cannot stand alone as a complete sentence.

The given answer is "Independent clause" because an independent clause is a complete sentence that can stand alone and express a complete thought. In this case, "Bread can be cooked in a number of ways" is a complete sentence that expresses a complete thought. It does not rely on any other clause or sentence to make sense. Therefore, it is an independent clause.

The given sentence "Even though it rained constantly in Trelawny" is a dependent clause because it starts with a subordinating conjunction "Even though" which indicates that it cannot stand alone as a complete sentence. It needs to be connected to an independent clause to form a complete thought. The dependent clause provides additional information about the rain in Trelawny but does not express a complete idea on its own.

A compound sentence consists of two or more independent clauses joined by coordinating conjunctions (such as "but", "and", "or"). In the given sentence, "Kingston is the capital of Jamaica" and "Half-Way-Tree is the capital of Kingston" are both independent clauses joined by the coordinating conjunction "but". Therefore, the sentence is classified as a compound sentence.

The given statement "Because we knew how to handle the boat in rough weather" is a dependent clause. It starts with the subordinating conjunction "Because" and provides a reason or cause for something. It cannot stand alone as a complete sentence and relies on an independent clause to form a complete thought.

The sentence "After Sheika came home, she washed the dishes and wiped the floor" contains three verbs: washed, wiped, and came.

The subject in this sentence is "Sheika" because it is the person who came home, washed the dishes, and wiped the floor. "She" is also a subject in the sentence because it refers to the same person, Sheika.

The given correct answer is "Independent Clause" because it is a complete sentence that can stand alone and express a complete thought. It does not rely on any other part of the sentence to make sense.

The given statement contains two independent clauses, "Although Mexico has the better football team" and "they lost." These clauses are connected by the subordinating conjunction "although," indicating a contrast or contradiction between the two ideas. This makes the sentence a complex sentence.

The given sentence contains two independent clauses connected by the coordinating conjunction "yet." Each clause can stand alone as a complete sentence. Therefore, the sentence is compound.

The conjunction in this sentence is "and" because it connects two actions, "washed the dishes" and "wiped the floor," indicating that both actions were performed by Sheika after she came home.

The group of words "the picnic being planned for some time now" is a fragment because it does not express a complete thought. It is missing a subject and a verb, and it is not a complete sentence.

The given sentence is a simple sentence because it contains only one independent clause. It provides a straightforward statement about the island and its features without any additional clauses or conjunctions.

The given statement "To see the sun setting and the sky darkening" is a fragment because it does not express a complete thought or have a subject and verb. It is missing a main clause that would provide a complete idea.

The given sentence contains two independent clauses connected by the coordinating conjunction "while." Each clause can stand alone as a complete sentence, but they are combined to show a relationship between the actions of Romario and Shantel. Therefore, the sentence is classified as complex.

This sentence is a complex sentence because it contains an independent clause ("Call your father") and a dependent clause ("as soon as you arrive in Paris"). The dependent clause cannot stand alone as a complete sentence and relies on the independent clause for meaning.

A compound sentence consists of two or more independent clauses joined by coordinating conjunctions (such as "and," "but," or "or") or by punctuation marks (such as a semicolon). In this case, the sentence has three independent clauses joined by the coordinating conjunction "and."

The given statement "Finished packing right after dinner" is a dependent clause because it does not express a complete thought and cannot stand alone as a sentence. It is dependent on another clause to provide the necessary information for it to make sense.
