The subject of this sentence is “the dog” , and the verb is “chewed”.
This sentence completely expresses the idea of what the dog did-it
chewed on its bone.
This group of words has the same subject and verb as before, but it
dpesn’t give the reader the whole picture. It leaves questions-like what
was the dog doing while it chewed on its bone?
While the dog chewed on itts bone, it growled at me, so i left it alone.
Notice that this sentence has two dependent clauses (“while the dog
chewed on its bone” and “so I left alone”) and one independent caluse
(“it growled at me”). Together they express complete thought and
provide detail to the reader. 1
