Here's what that means:
* Independent Clause: A group of words that contains a subject (who or what is doing the action) and a verb (the action itself).
* One: It only contains one subject-verb pair.
Examples:
* The dog barked. (Subject: dog, Verb: barked)
* The sun shines. (Subject: sun, Verb: shines)
* We ate pizza. (Subject: we, Verb: ate)
Key Points:
* No conjunctions: Simple sentences don't use words like "and," "but," "or," or "because" to connect clauses.
* Complete thought: They express a complete thought on their own.
