Independent and dependent clauses are basic grammar rules, but I thought they would be nice to review since I haven't studied them for a few years.
Independent clauses is a group of words that contains a subject and a verb. It is a complete sentence.
Dependent clauses contain subjects and verbs, but do not express a complete thought. it is not a sentence. most of the time a dependent clause is marked by a dependent marker word. some examples of these marker words are: after, although, as, as if, because, before, even if, even though, if, in order to, since, though, unless, until, whatever, when, and whenever.
even though this is a fairly elementary level grammar rule; it was nice to review and learn more.
