'Tis the season to understand our clauses
Curtis Honeycutt
I have an idea for an epic Christmas movie. It would feature a good Santa against an evil South Pole Santa.
There would be polar bears battling penguins, reindeer duking it out with more penguins, and North Pole elves fighting off an onslaught of robot penguins.
We'd need to have a big penguin budget.
While “Battle of the Clauses” may not be coming to theaters (or HBO Max) soon, today we're going to tackle two opposing types of grammatical clauses: dependent and independent clauses. Yes, one set of clauses is fighting for independence while the other clings on for dear life.
