An example of an independent clause is "She enjoys reading books." This clause can stand alone as a complete sentence because it contains a subject ("She") and a predicate ("enjoys reading books") and expresses a complete thought. Independent clauses can also be combined with dependent clauses or other independent clauses to form more complex sentences.
An independent clause is a sentence that can stand on its own.
