Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

A sentence can be defined as a group of words that comprises of both a subject and predicate used to convey a logical information. Sentences are classified into four (4) main categories and these includes;

I. Simple sentence.

II. Compound sentence.

III. Complex sentence.

IV. Compound-Complex sentence.

A complex sentence comprises of both an independent clause and a dependent clause. Therefore, a complex sentence has at least one subordinate clause.

Hence, a complex sentence has two or more main clauses and at least one dependent clause.

Additionally, an independent (main) clause can be defined as a clause that expresses a complete thought while standing alone as a simple sentence and comprises of at least a subject and a verb (predicate).

Some examples of an independent clause are;

- She is a wise woman.

- I like her.

- She read the whole novel.
