Independent and Dependent Clauses

A clause is a group of words that contains a subject (a noun or noun phrase) and a predicate (a simple verb or compound verb phrase, along with any objects complementing the verb). Clauses are of two types: independent and dependent. The first type is also known as a main clause; the second type is also known as a subordinate or relative clause.
