Independent Clause: Can stand alone as a sentence – not dependent on any other words.
i. Example: 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐮𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤 𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐢𝐞𝐫, but programs sometimes take a long time to master.
𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐮𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤 𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐢𝐞𝐫 is the independent clause in this sentence because it can be separated from the rest of the sentence and still make sense.

Merci beaucoup. Cela a du sens. Thank you so much that makes sense.
For the example you gave, 𝘑𝘪𝘮 𝘴𝘵𝘶𝘥𝘪𝘦𝘥 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘸𝘦𝘦𝘵 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘱 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘤𝘩𝘦𝘮𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘺 𝘲𝘶𝘪𝘻, the independent clause is 𝐉𝐢𝐦 𝐬𝐭𝐮𝐝𝐢𝐞𝐝 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐭 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐩, because it makes sense, and even though the readers don't know 𝘸𝘩𝘺 he is in the sweet shop, you still can understand the sentence without the other little bit.
However, in a 𝐝𝐞𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐜𝐥𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐞, the sentence must be complete, so in this example: Since I don't have enough money, I cannot buy the shoes.
In the above example, 𝐒𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐈 𝐝𝐨𝐧'𝐭 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐞𝐧𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐲 is the dependent clause, because it doesn't make sense unless you put 𝐈 𝐜𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐛𝐮𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐞𝐬 after it.
Hope this helps you!
