In the sentence "My book, which has many pictures, has little text," the phrase "which has many pictures" is a dependent clause (also known as a subordinate clause). It provides additional information about "my book" but cannot stand alone as a complete sentence. The main part of the sentence, "My book has little text," is an independent clause because it can stand alone as a complete thought.
Independent clause or dependent clause?
