Causes of Breast Bone Pain. 1  Heartburn or reflux is the most common cause of a burning pain along and under the breast bone as a result of esophagitis. Gastroesophageal reflux (GERD) may also result in episodes of severe sharp pains in the chest and is often mistaken for a myocardial infarction (heart attack) during these episodes.
A complex sentence contains an independent clause and at least one dependent clause. A sentence with two or more independent clauses plus (one or more) dependent clauses is referred to as a compound-complex sentence. (Every clause contains a subject and predicate).
What Is an Independent Clause? (with Examples) An independent clause is a clause that can stand alone as a sentence (i.e., it expresses a complete thought). An independent clause, like all clauses, has a subject and verb. When there are no dependent clauses in the same sentence as an independent clause, the independent clause is a simple sentence. For example: I like coconut macaroons. (This is an independent clause and simple sentence.) I like coconut macaroons even though I dislike coconut. (This is an independent clause and a dependent clause. This is a complex sentence.)
