Hi,
I'm aware that a sentence must have at least one independent clause and I'm having a hard time deciding whether the following sentence meets that requirement.
"The punishment you should receive, Dan took upon himself."
I know I could rearrange it to "Dan took upon himself the punishment you should receive" - but would it also be correct the other way around? Yes. It's just a more literary, stylish word order. The underlying sentence structure remains the same. The main clause is Dan took upon himself the punishment.
Best wishes, Clive
