What are independent clauses? Your advice will help those who are at least aware of these elements of grammar. Far too often, though, I find students in college who are not aware of these concepts.

I'm going to add this link to a comment on my comma post, which simply points to other resources on the web, because I haven't had the nerve to try to write directions myself. But what are clauses?
