In grammar, a clause is a group of words that contains a subject and a predicate (verb). Clauses can be either independent or dependent (subordinate).
Independent Clause: This type of clause expresses a complete thought and can stand alone as a sentence. It typically consists of a subject and a predicate (verb). For example: "She runs every morning."
Dependent Clause: Also known as a subordinate clause, this type of clause does not express a complete thought and cannot stand alone as a sentence. It depends on an independent clause to complete its meaning. Dependent clauses often begin with subordinating conjunctions such as "because," "since," "although," etc. For example: "Because she loves music, she plays the piano."
In grammar, a dependent clause, also known as a subordinate clause, is a group of words that contains a subject and a verb but does not express a complete thought on its own. It relies on an independent clause to form a complete sentence. Dependent clauses are often introduced by subordinating conjunctions or relative pronouns, which help establish the relationship between the dependent clause and the independent clause.
For example:
Subordinating Conjunction Introducing a Dependent Clause:
After the game ended (dependent clause), we went out for dinner (independent clause).
Here, "After the game ended" is the dependent clause because it cannot stand alone as a complete sentence.
Relative Pronoun Introducing a Dependent Clause:
The book (independent clause) that she lent me (dependent clause) was interesting (independent clause).
In this case, "that she lent me" is the dependent clause because it provides additional information about the book but does not express a complete thought on its own.
An independent clause in grammar is a clause that can stand alone as a complete sentence. It contains a subject and a predicate (a verb), and expresses a complete thought. Independent clauses are also referred to as main clauses because they can function independently and do not depend on any other clauses to make sense.
Here are a few examples of independent clauses:
She went to the store.
Subject: She
Predicate: went to the store
The sun was shining brightly.
Subject: The sun
Predicate: was shining brightly
He played football after school.
Subject: He
Predicate: played football after school
