[General] ; ask yourself ...

Hi.

SemiColon is supposed to join two independent clauses, and a clause should contain a subject and a finite verb.

The sentence below is extracted from a book:

"Instead, filter what you are reading through your own experience; ask yourself how and where that concept fits into your understanding."

Is the sentence following the semicolon an independent clause, and also whether 'yourself' is the subject and 'ask' is the verb?

See corrections, and please in future threads, cite properly the source.

Is the [STRIKE]sentence[/STRIKE] part following the semicolon an independent clause,

It is.

and [STRIKE]also whether[/STRIKE] is 'yourself' [STRIKE]is[/STRIKE] the subject and 'ask' [STRIKE]is[/STRIKE] the verb?

"Ask" is the verb, but "yourself" is the object. That clause is in the imperative mood, so the object is implied you.

DANAU, you've been a member long enough to know that we want the source and author of any quoted text.

You're lucky to have received a reply without that information.

Hi Rover.

Yes, I have been told before on that. Sorry that I did not include again.

The above sentence was taken from the book
Rhetorical Grammar by Martha Kolln.

Imperatives do not require subjects.
