Answer 1

The main clause in a sentence is the part that can stand alone as a complete thought and contains both a subject and a predicate. Clauses beginning with subordinating conjunctions, such as 'when,' 'unless,' and 'if,' are dependent and cannot be main clauses. Main clauses have been provided for 10 example sentences.

Step-by-step explanation:

Main Clauses in Sentences

To identify the main clause in a sentence, look for the clause that can stand alone as a complete thought and is not dependent on another clause to make sense. The main clause will also contain a subject and a predicate. In contrast, dependent clauses or subordinate clauses begin with words such as 'when,' 'before,' 'unless,' and 'if,' and do not express a complete thought on their own. Here are the main clauses for the sentences provided:

1. Driving is very dangerous
2. I always do some warmup exercises
3. We were surprised
4. I will help you with your homework
5. You can order
6. We will be on time
7. Everyone will celebrate
8. Please be quiet
9. Alyssa is leaving for vacation
10. I'll wear a red hat
