Hey, Raelynn. Welcome to A2K.
Always look for the parts of any sentence that can stand alone, then decide exactly how the remaining structures function.
Your choices are many, but understanding the implications of the communication can be helpful.
Verbals; clause modifiers; dependent clauses, etc. Don't be misled by a conjunction. Look at how it functions.
