Use the following sentence to complete the activity.

Mary ate the cupcakes that her mother made 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.

"Mary ate the cupcakes" is an independent clause because it can stand alone as a complete thought. "that her mother made for her" is a dependent clause because it cannot stand alone as a complete sentence. Its function in the sentence is to provide more information about the cupcakes by specifying who made them.
