{{a|plainenglish|}}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.
