They insist that Bacon really wrote the play.

I am saying this is a complete sentence with no dependent clause,. Am I right?

No.

First, find the verbs.

They insist that I like to read.

I do see the verbs. Should have seen them. I am saying no comma and that I like to read is the Dependent clause. Thank You for making us think about it.

Sorry wrote it wrong. that Bacon really wrote the plays is dependent and They insist is independent

Your second post is correct. Nice!

To determine if the sentence "They insist that Bacon really wrote the play" is a complete sentence with no dependent clause, we can break it down:

1. They insist - This is an independent clause because it can stand alone as a complete sentence. It has a subject "They" and a verb "insist".

2. that Bacon really wrote the play - This is a dependent clause because it cannot stand alone as a complete sentence. It begins with the subordinating conjunction "that" and provides additional information about the action in the main clause.

Therefore, the sentence "They insist that Bacon really wrote the play" is not a complete sentence with no dependent clause since it contains both an independent clause and a dependent clause.
