Yes it is.
a sentence which has a noun, verb, subject, and a direct object
a verb
This is a compound sentence with two verbs. The verb in the first independent clause is 'suffered.' The verb in the second independent clause is 'is causing.'
a sentence fragment is not a complete sentence, and does not have a noun and/or verb ie. Also, many cats
Can is not an independent clause, it's a modal auxiliary verb that expresses ability. Example: He can do fifty push-ups. An independent clause is a sentence that contains a subject, verb, and expresses a complete thought.
No. This is a statement but not structured as a complete sentence. You could say something like, "One fact about cats is that they purr." Yes. You have a subject and a verb.
A simple sentence is a sentence that contains one independent clause and expresses a complete thought.
Yes, James Santos example was (Emman run.). Emman = subject/Run = predicate its a complete sentence or an independent clause. A clause is a group of related words containing a subject that tells readers what the sentence is about, and a verb that tells readers what the subject is doing. An independent clause, also called a main clause, is a clause that can stand on its own. It contains all the information necessary to be a complete sentence. An independent clause has a subject that tells you what the sentence is about and a verb that tells you what the subject is doing. It expresses a complete thought, relaying that something has happened or was said.
"cats" is the direct object. It receives the action of the verb "brushes".
Cats. They are often times independent therefore they think for themselves.
An independent clause is a part or is a sentence,that has a verb and subject,and can be a sentence all by its self.A dependent clause is part of a sentence that has a subject and ver,but CAN NOT be a sentence alone! ex.independent clause-John is in it.(Can not be a sentence ,John is in what?) ex.dependent clause-John is in the red box.(Can be a sentence,the sentence tells what John is in.)
In compound sentence, there are 2 Independent clauses, Independent clause has a subject, verb/predicate and has a complete thought and it uses coordinating conjunctions. The coordinating conjunctions are: and, but, yet, nor, or, for and so
