Subjects and Predicates Practice/Independent Clauses

Here's a link for a helpful online review of simple subjects and predicates:

In addition to identifying subjects and predicates, your quiz tomorrow will include independent clauses. You will need to:
- Identify independent clauses
- Separate two independent clauses that are in one sentence
- Correct capitalization and punctuation if necessary

Don't forget - an independent clause includes both a subject and a predicate, and can stand on its own as a statement. To separate two independent clauses, "a comma is not enough!!!" :) You can use a comma WITH a conjunction, a semicolon, or simply turn the two independent clauses into separate sentences. For example:

I play the violin it's my favorite hobby. - There are two independent clauses here:

1. I play the violin
2. It;s my favorite hobby

These two statements must be separated, and that separation could look like any of the following:

1. I play the violin. It's my favorite hobby.
2. I play the violin; it's my favorite hobby.
3. I play the violin, and it's my favorite hobby.
