7When you finish your homework, please take the dog for a walk.
The part of the sentence that is underlined is When you finish your homework.

I believe that this is a dependent clause because it cannot stand alone and When is a dependent marker.

8. After Juan completed the assignment, he swam laps at the gym.
After Juan completed the assignment is the part of the sentence that is underlined.
I feel that this is again a Dependent clause because of the word After.

Thank you so much for letting me know on this if I am right or wrong. Some of these sentences can be very confusing.

Can you let me know what is the best way to determine the difference between dependent and independent clauses?
