Identify the number of independent and subordinate clauses in the following group of words.

Early bicycles had one very large wheel and one very small wheel

To identify the number of independent and subordinate clauses in the given group of words, we need to understand the difference between independent and subordinate clauses.

An independent clause, also known as a main clause, can stand alone as a complete sentence because it expresses a complete thought. It has both a subject and a predicate.

A subordinate clause, also known as a dependent clause, cannot stand alone as a complete sentence because it does not express a complete thought. It relies on the main clause to make sense.

Now let's analyze the group of words:

"Early bicycles had one very large wheel and one very small wheel."

There is only one clause in this sentence, which is an independent clause:
- "Early bicycles had one very large wheel and one very small wheel."

This clause expresses a complete thought and can stand alone as a sentence.

Therefore, there is 1 independent clause and 0 subordinate clauses in the given group of words.

I see only one clause there because I see only one subject and one verb -- bicycles | had.

Do you think it's dependent/subordinate? or independent?
