A dependent clause is a group of words that also contains a subject and a verb, but it is not a complete thought. Because it is not a complete thought, a dependent clause cannot stand on its own as a sentence; it is dependent on being attached to an independent clause to form a sentence.
thank u John...and Reed.
John, you should not just give the answer to him/her. This is HOMEWORK HELP not HOMEWORK answers. I'm sure Jaylen can use a few resources, as provided by Reed. But she does need to reed her text book or read resource sites.
really Jordyn they are just being nice
No, he was helping you cheat... Reed was being nice, he/she let you find out and LEARN other than just giving the answer.
okay then
Jordyn is right, in my opinion. (I'm a he, by the way.) My object as a tutor is to help you, the student, learn about your questions, not just give you the answer. You are studying so you can learn to function as an adult in our world, not just to get meaningless answers to test questions.
Jordyn and Jaylen -- one person, two names.
Identity crisis??
The difference between a dependent clause and an independent clause lies in their ability to express a complete thought and function grammatically.
1. Dependent Clause:
A dependent clause is a group of words that contains a subject and a verb but cannot stand alone as a complete sentence. It relies on an independent clause to convey a complete meaning. Dependent clauses often begin with subordinating conjunctions, such as "because," "although," "while," "if," etc. These clauses provide additional information or clarification to the main idea of a sentence, but cannot function independently. For example:
- "Because I was tired" (dependent clause)
This clause tells us about the cause but does not express a complete thought on its own. To complete the idea, we would need an independent clause, such as "I went to bed early."
2. Independent Clause:
An independent clause, on the other hand, is a group of words that contains a subject and a verb and can stand alone as a complete sentence. It expresses a complete thought and does not rely on any other clauses to convey meaning. Independent clauses can be simple sentences or can be combined with other independent or dependent clauses to form complex or compound-complex sentences. Examples of independent clauses include:
- "I went to the store."
- "She is reading a book."
In summary, a dependent clause relies on an independent clause to express a complete thought, while an independent clause can stand alone as a complete sentence.
