Q
Loose sentence
A
A type of sentence in which the main idea (independent clause) comes first followed by dependent grammatical units like phrases and clauses.
If a period were placed at the end of the independent clause, the clause would be a complete sentence. Loose sentences create loose style.
ex) I arrived at the San Diego airport after a long bumpy ride and multiple delays
