Use the sentence to complete the activity.

Jessica ate the cookies that her daughter baked for her.

In one to two sentences, identify the bold words as an independent clause, dependent clause, or phrase, and explain their functions within the sentence.

"Jessica ate the cookies" is an independent clause because it has a subject ("Jessica") and a verb ("ate") and can stand alone as a complete sentence. "that her daughter baked for her" is a dependent clause because it has a subject ("daughter") and a verb ("baked") but cannot stand alone as a complete sentence. Its function within the sentence is to provide additional information about the cookies, specifically who baked them.
