Which of the following is an independent clause? tanya likes to read when the children grow up amanda and scott unless you hear from me

When the children grow up

The correct answer is “Tanya likes to read.”

An independent clause is a clause that can stand alone as a sentence. In other words, it has a subject and a verb, and it expresses a complete thought. For example, I like to ride the bus.

If you were to add a dependent clause to the same independent clause, it might look like this:

I like to ride the bus when I’m not in a rush to get where I’m going” I like to ride the bus is the independent clause because it is a complete sentence by itself. “when I’m not in a rush to get where I’m going” is a dependent clause because it could not stand alone by itself as a complete sentence.

its hard for me to see which word is supposed to be in bold. if i knew then i would be able to better.
