Rule 1: Simple sentences can be very short, consisting of only

one word (a noun) for the subject and one word (a verb) for

the predicate. The noun is called the simple subject, and the

verb is the simple predicate.

John laughed.

Rule 2: Simple sentences can be long, although they still

consist of one subject (a noun and modifiers) and one

predicate (a verb and other elements). The noun is called thesimple subject, and the verb is the simple predicate.

The tall, good-looking boy with the curly blond hair laughed

uproariously at his best friends suggestion.

Indicate whether you think the example is an Independent

Clause (IC), a Dependent Clause (DC), or a Phrase by clicking in

the appropriate button, but remember to check for a subject

and verb before you answer.

1. But Dorothy and Toto got home safely

2. Purity and innocence characterize Dorothy

3. Mounting resistance by the Grange

4. Blowing smoke and making noise in the great hall

5. Whereas small farmers were oppressed by Eastern

bankers6. was William Jennings Bryan a cowardly lion

Reason the answer

This example is again an independent clause. It contains a

compound subject ("Dorothy and Toto") and a verb ("got"). The

word "but" at the beginning is a "FANBOYS," a coordinating

conjunction. If the conjuction had been a subordinator, we would

have had a dependent clause, but independent clauses CAN beginwith a "FANBOYS."

We have a clause here because there is a compound subject ("purity

and innocence") and a verb ("characterize"). It is an independent

clause because it can stand on its own as a simple sentence.

Reason the answer

Again we have a couple of "-ing" constructions ("blow-ing

smoke" and "mak-ing noise"), but the example contains no

verb. This is a phrase.

The verb in this clause is "were oppressed," and the subject is

"small farmers." The clause cannot stand on its own as a

simple sentence because of the subordinating conjunction

"whereas"; as a result, this is a dependent clause.

Put a question mark at the end of this example and we'd have

a valid question and a complete sentence. This independentclause contains a subject ("William Jennings Bryan") and a

verb ("was").
