Respuesta :

Answer:

1. Independent clause

2. Independent clause

3. Dependent clause

4. Independent clause

5. Dependent clause

Explanation:

An independent clause is a clause that can stand alone as a sentence. It has all characteristics a sentence must have - it contains a subject and a predicate and expresses a complete thought. Independent clauses are connected to each other by coordinating conjunctions (e.g. but - But I did not speak up for myself).

A dependent clause is a clause that can't stand alone as a sentence. It provides additional information about the independent clause, and without it, the dependent clause doesn't express a complete thought. That's why it can't stand alone. Dependent clauses are connected to independent clauses by subordinating conjunctions (And so we left the party, So she went to the store).
