Can this be a COMPLETE SENTENCE??
Who is a student,also has a part-time job.
1) The independent clause in this sentence is "Ralph has a part-time job." It can express a complete thought on its own and does not depend on any other part of the sentence.
2) The clause "who is a student" is an adjective clause. It modifies the noun "Ralph" by giving additional information about him. In this case, it tells us that Ralph is a student. Adjective clauses typically start with a relative pronoun (in this case, "who") and function as adjectives by describing or limiting nouns or pronouns.
