An independent clause (or main clause) can be defined as a clause that can stand by itself, also known as a simple sentence. An independent clause contains a subject and a predicate ; it makes sense by itself. Independent clauses can be joined by using a semicolon or a coordinating conjunction such as for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so.
