Chandra GunawanDimas Sri KuncoroKhuraim Ziyad AssadySantyaya Baktiwira2An independent clause (or main clause) is a clause that can stand by itself, also known as a simple sentence. An independent clause contains a subject and a predicate; it makes sense by itself.Example: - I enjoy sitting by the fireplace and reading.- Dhika went to the mall- Wulan was reading the English papers about Simple sentence.- He went to the park and the ride was broken. This is an example of two independent clauses together in one sentence.

Parts of a Sentence:

1)SubjectSubject is the part of a sentence or clause that commonly indicates (a) what it is about, or (b) who or what performs the action (that is, the agent). Subject is that which answers the question who or what placed before the predicate, and which at the same time names that of which the predicate says something.The subject of simple sentence may be:

a.Noun There seems to be no interval between greatness and meanness." b.Pronoun"We are fortified by every heroic anecdote."c.Infinitive phrase"To enumerate and analyze these relations is to teach the science of method."d.Gerund"There will be sleeping enough in the grave;" "What signifies wishing and hoping for better things?e.Adjective used as noun"The good are befriended even by weakness and defect;" "The dead are there."f.Adverb"Then is the moment for the humming bird to secure the insects."g.In the interrogative sentence"When should this scientific education be commenced?"The subject is found after the verb.

2)Predicate Predicate of a sentence is a verb or verb phrase which says something about the subject. 3)VerbVerb is the part of speech (or word class) that describes an action or occurrence or indicates a state of being.4)ObjectObject is a word or group of words, functioning as a noun or a pronoun, that is influenced by a verb (direct object), a verbal (indirect object), or a preposition (object of a preposition).

a.The DIRECT OBJECT is that word or expression which answers the question who or what placed after the verb; or the direct object names that toward which the action of the predicate is directed.Example: I enjoying the holiday.

b.The INDIRECT OBJECT is a noun or its equivalent used as the modifier of a verb or verbal to name the person or thing for whose benefit an action is performed.Example: I call him.

5)The complements. A complement is a word added to a verb of incomplete predication to complete its meaning.

This simple sentence has one independent clause which contains one subject, I, and one predicate, run.o The girl ran into her bedroom.This simple sentence has one independent clause which contains one subject, girl, and one predicate, ran into her bedroom.
