Answer:
Yes, an independent clause contains a subject, a predicate, and it expresses a complete thought.
with the word "independent", the clause can stand as a sentence alone, and does not need a dependent clause. A dependent clause on the other hand, has a subject and a verb, but no complete thought, which is why it needs an independent clause to become a complex sentence. :))
