Can you find a subject and a verb?

Can this subject and verb make sense on their own? (John died)
| YES
|
You have found an independent clause! Gather up all the words that should go with it. For instance "John died in June" is a complete independent clause. "in June" is a prepositional phrase, not a clause, because it does not have a subject and a verb.
