##  [Fun with Clauses: Dependent or independent?](/en/quiz/fun-with-clauses-dependent-or-independent-eng)

In the following questions, the word groups all contain a subject and a verb and are therefore clauses. But clauses are not all alike! Some are independent—they can stand alone as a complete sentence. And some are dependent—they can't stand alone; they need an independent clause to support them. See if you can identify what kind of clause each word group is.
