Both a dependent and an independent clause have a subject and a verb, but the difference comes with, the independent clause also has a complete thought where the dependent clause does not have a complete thought. The two ways to remove a complete thought is to either add a subordinate conjunction to the sentence or add a relative clause by placing a pronoun at the beginning of the sentence, these

we discover a more complex layer of meaning. The first word of the sentence, knowing, introduces a participial phrase. A reader expects, and grammatical usage requires, that a primary position participle modify the subject of the subsequent independent clause. Chopin violates our expectations.

If we review the story as a whole, we realize that the disquieting effect of the first sentence is heightened
Independent Clause (IC) An independent clause is a group of words that contains a subject and verb and expresses a complete thought. An independent clause is a sentence. Example: Jim studied in the Sweet Shop for his chemistry quiz. (IC) Dependent Clause (DC) A dependent clause is a group of words that contains a subject and verb but does not express a complete thought. A dependent clause cannot be a sentence.

main clause and a subordinate clause. Pseudo-cleft sentence and it-cleft sentence are two major types of cleft sentences. It- cleft sentence is defined as a construction in which some element in a sentence is moved from its normal position into a separate clause to give it a greater emphasis.

Citadels; While the first line is a fully independent clause, the second, while also an independent clause, begins with "And," seemingly a continuation of a sentence started in the first line. The verb is dropped in the third line, creating a dependent clause, and a more hurried feeling than the first and second lines. Finally, the fourth line seems cramped (like the confines holding the Nun, Student, Maids, and Weaver), with two dependent clauses separate... ... middle of paper ... ... but
to American usage: "lifelike". Semi-colons are grammatical equal signs. What goes on one side of a semi-colon must be grammatically equal to what goes on the other side. Typically they join two independent clauses. To the right see incorrect usage: a semi-colon is trying to join an independent clause and a phrase. So many words; so little said. This paragraph asserts many things in perhaps a loosely coherent way, but there is too much here for one paragraph. Focus your ideas around an aspect of

national government at the expense of the powers of state governments. It gave too much power to the executive branch of the national government at the expense of the other branches. It gave too much power because of the “necessary and proper clause.” It did not adequately separate the powers of the executive and legislative branches. In addition, it allowed the national government to keep an army during peacetime. And also it did not include a bill of rights. They feared that because of
the moral rules. Unsolvable moral situations simply reflect implicit inconsistencies in our existing moral code. If we are to remain moral as well as logical, then we must restore consistency to our code. This is accomplished by adding exception clauses to current principles, and giving priorities to some principles over others, or by some other device. I argue that we must accept moral dilemmas as an essential part of real-life reality on the grounds that some moral statements concern values. According
[1] where consent would not be possible, but this is not usual. It is widely accepted that sufficient protection against the unwanted extension of VE to NVE would be ensured by the inclusion of appropriate legal safeguards. As safeguards, clauses are proposed that would require the doctor to be satisfied that the patient's request was freely made and sufficiently informed, that there was no psychological abnormality such as depression, and possibly by requiring psychiatric consultation, that
poor, unskilled black Jamaicans who needed a hope. The social situation which was emerging in the 1930’s which called for this need was as follows. Jamaica was a commonwealth of the British Empire. It had recently, around 1884, received a write in clause to their constitution which stipulated if the new government did not succeed and the economic life of Jamaica were to suffer because of it, the political constitution would be amended or abolished to meet new conditions. Black Jamaicans had a taste
sentence of the book announces itself as Hemingway's: "He was an old man who fished alone in a skiff in the Gulf stream and he had gone eighty-four days now without taking a fish" . The words are plain, and the structure, two tightly-worded independent clauses conjoined by a simple conjunction, is ordinary, traits which characterize Hemingway's literary style. Santiago is the protagonist of the novella. He is an old fisherman in Cuba who, when we meet him at the beginning of the book, has not caught
my first grade teacher. She was the most caring and dedicated teacher I ever had and she respected every student as an individual. On the other hand, she had a very negative influence on my life. She is the person who told me there was no Santa Clause, which ruined Christmas for me for a very long time. Another person who has had a great influence on my life is Mr. Robinson. He was my first band teacher. He is the person who convinced me to join band, which helped me make many great friends and
relations, and creates ways for special needs. When a party decides to use arbitration to come up with a decision the most important step in the process is the agreement to arbitrate. This agreement can be the form of a future dispute arbitration clause in a contract or, if the party did not submit for arbitration in advance it then it can take the form of a submission of an existing case to arbitration. If parties want to provide for arbitration of futur...
Why Men Should Teach Feminism We were asked to focus on three questions related to men and feminism: first, what leads us to teach feminism; second and third, can or should a man teach courses or topics on feminism. While my short answer to each question is “yes,” I have carefully examined my ideological history and experiences teaching women’s studies to be more certain of my response. Not all of the varied aims of women’s studies and feminist activism are directed toward the sensibilities
both races to compromise their strong views and come to an agreement on many civil rights issues. Some of the key elements of Baldwin's style include structure, diction, and literary devices. His complex structure includes long sentences and many clauses. His diction is elevated. Baldwin's heavy use of allusions, particularly biblical allusions, shows him to be a well-educated man and draws extensively on the rich oratorical heritage of the African-American church.
