    Jane ran to the store is an independent clause

    Explanation:

    Independent Clause:

    An independent clause can stand on its own, offering full meaning. There is no need to join any other clause. An independent clause can also be as short as just two words e. g He smiled. So presence of object is not mandatory in an independent clause.

    Jane ran to the store is independent clause because it has all the three components of an independent clause i. e

    1 Has a subject - Jane

    2 has an action or predicate - ran to the store (a predicate)

    3 Expresses a complete thought

    Subordinate Clause:

    It does not express a complete thought.

    e. g Because he likes stories.

    A clause becomes subordinate because of;

    1: The presence of marker words (e. g Before, after, because, since, in order to, although, though, whenever, wherever, whether, while, even though, even if)

    2: Conjunction (And, or, nor, but, yet)

    Subordinate/dependent clause MUST be joined to another clause to make the meaning clear.
