Main Clauses

This document discusses main clauses, also known as independent clauses, which must contain a subject and a verb and express a complete thought. It provides three examples of main clauses: "Diane kicked the soda machine", "A giant spider has made its home behind the shampoo bottle in Neil's bathroom", and "Sima and Michele are skipping their chemistry class to sit by the lake and watch the sun sparkling on the water". Each example identifies the subject and verb.
