Asked by Nick

what are dependent and independent clauses?
Answered by Writeacher
Independent clauses can be sentences on their own or parts of longer sentences.

Dependent clauses can only be parts of other sentences.

Independent cl = We came home from the dance.

Dependent cl = When we came home from the dance
