Question

The faucet dripped, is that a independent clause or is it a dependent clause

Answer 1

Independent clause.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sentence, "The faucet dripped," works as a complete thought as it has a verb and a noun (subject). Dripped is the past participle of drip. So in order for something to be a dependent clause, it would have to be an incomplete thought meaning that it cannot be on it's own in a sentence or otherwise, it obviously isn't a sentence.

A dependent clause usually starts in the beginning and is then completed by another part of the sentence.

It overall just sounds wrong and incomplete.

I tried to make this as brief as I could,

Answer 2

Independent clause.

Step-by-step explanation:

A independent clause contains at least one subject & one verb. They are stand alone and can be known as a simple sentence.

In this case, both a subject & verb is provided.

Subject: A subject of a sentence is typically described as the person, place or thing.

Verb: A verb of a sentence is typically described as the action taken by the said subject.

In this case:

The subject is the faucet (thing).

The Verb is dripped (past tense action of dripping).

Therefore, "The faucet dripped" is a independent clause.
