Sentence 3. Add an independent clause
*Add your words to the beginning or end of the clause (but not both) and do not use a semi-colon to join your independent clause.

1. Add a phrase= Thankfully we are already more than a quarter of the way through the year.
2. Add a dependent clause= Can you believe that we are already more than a quarter of the way through the year?
3. Add an independent clause= We are already more than a quarter of the way through the year, and I am so ready for summertime.
Good job, Leah. But your second sentence does not add a dependent clause; it adds an independent clause ("Can you believe [x]") that subordinates the original sentence.
