使い方のコツ
Independent is pronounced /ˌɪndɪˈpendənt/, with the main stress on "-pend-." Common collocations include "independent study," "financially independent," and "independent variable." It's often followed by "of" or "from," as in "independent of others." Its opposite is "dependent," used with "on" (dependent on someone/something). Watch the spelling — it ends in "-ent," not "-ant."
