Independent and Dependent Clause Homework
November 15, 2010 | Posted in: Class Updates
For homework this evening, complete an online 12-question quiz about independent and dependent clauses. Remember what we learned today:
- Clause: A phrase, a bunch of words that form an idea in a sentence.
- Independent Clause: Can be a sentence by itself (INDEPENDENTLY)
- Dependent Clause: Cannot be a sentence (It DEPENDS on having the Independent Clause.)
- Unlike other parts of grammar, there is no rule of thumb about the order in which clauses appear in a sentence. Sometimes a Dependent Clause may come first, other times an Independent Clause will come first.
Complete the 12-question quiz. When you’re done, click on “Correct My Answers.” If you make a mistake, click on “Try Again” and fix your errors. Come into school prepared to tell me how many you got correct. (Hopefully you’ll get them all correct after you fix your mistakes!) You do NOT need to email your scores to me – write them in your planner and be prepared to tell me how you did. HAVE FUN!
