Dependent
Subordinate clauseA subordinate (or dependent) clause is a clause that needs another clause. Unlike independent clauses it cannot stand alone. The word because is usually a good indicator of a subordinate clause.
The sentence "I went to the store" is an example of a main clause ("I went to the store") that can stand alone. Adding a dependent clause, such as "after work," would give additional context and complete the meaning of the sentence: "I went to the store after work."
the clause that couldn't stand on its own is called: Dependent clause or Subordinating clause. example: before you leave for work today. another would be: After the long exhausting day. These two examples may contain a subject and a verb (you - subject and leave - verb [for the first example]) but this group of words is dependent clause because this group of words does not express a complete thought and it needs to be attached to a main clause or a independent clause. By the way, a clause that could stand on its own is called a main clause or an idependent clause. An example of which is "I slept for three hours." This in fact is an independent clause or a simple sentence. but if you attach the dependent clause - "After a long exhausting day." you will have a sentence that looks like this: After the long exhausting day, I slept for three hours. (this now becomes a complex sentence. It is a combination of an independent clause and a dependent clause in one sentence.
Complex
An independent clause doesn't need anything else to make it a complete sentence.Ex: I like to eat candy.A dependent clause needs another part to make it a complete sentence.Ex: It's bad for me, but I like to eat candy.
The necessary and proper clause
A dependent clause needs at least a subject and a verb in order to make a complete sentence.
The noun clause in the sentence is "whoever needs it." This clause acts as the object of the verb "loan," indicating the person who will receive the money for lunch.
A. Complex sentence "Apex"
A noun or a pronoun can be the object of a relative clause. Example:The person who called Sarah last night will call again today.The person who called you last night will call again today.A relative clause does not necessarily have an object, it only needs a subject and a verb:The person who called will call again tomorrow.
A dependent clause is a clause (subject and predicate) that cannot form a sentence by itself. An example would be: "When I went to the store" --this clause has a subject and verb, but the word "when" makes it dependent on more information. Another example would be "Although she felt sad"--it needs another clause to make it a complete sentence.
