Revision as of 18:14, 3 January 2017

Also known as a subordinate clause, a dependent clause is a phrase containing a noun and a verb which doesn't form a complete sentence by itself, needing the cover of a kindly main clause to give it meaning and orient it in the choppy waters of a modern sentence. It is usually introduced by a conjunction - subordinating conjunction, in fact.
