A clause that can stand on its own as a sentence is called an independent clause. This means it has a subject and a verb and expresses a complete thought.
The phrase "It may also be called because it does not need another connected to in order complete sentence" is not a complete sentence. It is a fragment that lacks a subject and a verb.
Here's a breakdown:
* Independent Clause: A clause that can stand alone as a complete sentence. Example: "The cat sat on the mat."
* Dependent Clause: A clause that cannot stand alone as a complete sentence. It relies on an independent clause for its meaning. Example: "Because the cat sat on the mat."
The correct statement would be: "A clause that can stand on its own as a sentence is called an independent clause because it does not need another clause connected to it in order to be a complete sentence."
