@richsamuela602.samuela i love this idea!

Is there a link for discord or something to join the group?

If I am typing it out, I take more than 30 mins lol.

You are missing the point that for Group 1 indicators, the idea following right after the indicator is the sufficiency condition, and the other idea is the necessary condition.

Hence, it is [clause 1] -> [clause 2] and not the other way around.

I hope it helps why it is 1->2 and not 2->1!

A clause can be a complete sentence by itself. So, let's take the last question as an example:

If a plant is native, then it is more resilient to local pests than non-native plants.

If you separate the sentences after the comma, they both can be complete sentences by themselves--"plant is native" "it is more resilient to local pests than non-native plants"

Yes, it can be hard to understand what they are trying to talk about in the second sentence, but it is still a complete sentence. This is a clause, and so is the first sentence.

To better identify them, look for indicators such as "if" because that is a dead giveaway as to what clause you are looking for.

Also, try to divide the sentences up. Are you able to make them into a clause?

It would also help to return to the foundational videos on clauses and other grammar lessons to get a better grip on this subject.

I hope this helps; I would be more than happy to expand how I understood this entire clause topic.
