The syntactical structure of the sentences in English and Uzbek do not overlap with each other. The subject of the English sentence is Mr. Bob Sawyer, the predicate was heard

Independent clause (Main clause).

Dependent clause (Subordinate clause).


Independent clause
Independent clause along with having subject and verb expresses a complete thought and can be held alone as well.
Here are some examples of Independent clause.

• 
  She saw him.
  
• 
  John hurried home.
  
• 
  Free dinner has a price.
  

Grammatically complete sentences like above are statements that can stand alone. When similar to these are part of long sentences, it is called Independent clauses.
More than two main clauses can be fused by coordinating conjunctions like and, but, for, nor, so, yet, etc. and by even using semicolons. The most pivotal part to recall here is that main or independent clause can stand alone.
Following is the example where the main clause is a simple sentence.

• 
  Priya brushed her lengthy, black hairs.
  

Next example is of coordinating conjunction where and joins two independent clauses.

• 
  Rahul left, and Priya brushed her lengthy, black hairs.
  

Next example is where the semicolon is joining two independent clauses.

• 
  Rahul left; Priya brushed her lengthy, black hairs.
  
• 
  After she told Rahul to go, Priya brushed her black strands.
  

In the above sentence, independent clause (Priya brushed her lengthy, black hairs.) is preceded by a clause that cannot stand alone (After she told Rahul to leave).

• 
  Priya brushed her lengthy, black strands while she waited for Rahul to leave.
  

In the above example again, an independent clause is followed by a clause that cannot stand alone: while she waited for Rahul to leave.
