Yes, it is. That is why it is called "a dependent clause." It is dependent upon the independent clause.
That's correct. An independent clause is a group of words that can stand alone as a sentence because it expresses a complete thought. When it is missing a subordinate clause or other elements necessary for a complete sentence, it becomes a sentence fragment.
Independent Clause: When a sentence doesn't need add on's so its not a sentence fragment2 . Example: I went over to my cousin's house for her 10th birthday. Dependent Clause (Sentence Fragment): When a sentence DOES need add on's to make it an advanced sentence. Example: Her 10th Birthday. Sentence Fragment: A sentence that is incomplete. Example: My favorite. If that doesn't help.. then here is another way i phrased it... I went over to my cousins house, for her 10th birthday. I went over to my cousins house= Independent For her 10th birthday= Dependent
The independent clause (the part that can stand by itself) is "he will not pass the course". The dependent clause (the sentence fragment) is "if he does not turn in his paper".
To fix a sentence fragment that is a subordinate clause, you can either combine it with an independent clause or rephrase it to form a complete sentence. Adding an independent clause will make it a dependent clause, allowing it to function as part of a complete sentence. Alternatively, you can revise the subordinate clause into an independent clause by providing any missing subject or verb it may have.
Yes, a dependent clause without a subject is considered a sentence fragment because it does not express a complete thought on its own. It lacks the necessary components to function as a complete sentence.
sentence fragment
Yes, "because I said so" is a dependent clause. By itself it is a fragment.
A complex sentence is a sentence that contains an independent clause and at least one dependent clause. The independent clause can stand alone as a complete sentence, while the dependent clause relies on the independent clause to make sense.
Which sentence use the passive voice? A. The free was planted by Mary. B. John searched for a job. C. The rain continued until dawn. D. Lies destroy friendship.
A sentence will have both a subject and a predicate (or one that is understood, for imperatives, e.g. "Stop!" = You must stop! / You should stop!) A sentence fragment will be missing either a subject or a predicate, or may be a dependent clause without an independent clause. Sentence: John has a dog that likes to play. Fragment: Has a dog that likes to play (no subject) Fragment: A dog that likes to play (no predicate for dog) Fragment: That likes to play (no independent clause) Sometimes fragments are acceptable in literary forms, e.g. where used for effect. "The killer had struck again! In broad daylight. And gotten away." (the phrase and clause are fragments that should have been part of the sentence)
A sentence fragment is sentence which cannot stand on its own. A sentence fragment may not stand on its own as it may not contain an independent clause or it may not fulfill the subject-verb relationship or it may not contain a verb at all.
