The difference between the independent clause and the dependent clause is: "dependent clause" has a complete thought like for example "the catcher missed the ball" it expresses who missed the ball (the catcher)."independent clause" has no complete thought like for example "the movie idol" it cannot express who is the movie idol.
An independent clause can stand on its own as a sentence. A dependent clause contains a subject and verb but cannot be a sentence. In the sentence "I'll stop by your office after I finish my lunch", "I'll stop by your office" is an independent clause, and "after I finish my lunch" is a dependent clause.
Yes, it is. That is why it is called "a dependent clause." It is dependent upon the independent clause.

Independent clause: "I went to the store." Dependent clause: "Because it was raining."
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.
A complex sentence has one independent clause and one dependent clause. The independent clause can stand alone as a sentence, while the dependent clause cannot.

It can be an independent clause or a dependent clause. It is an independent clause if does not have a word at the beginning like "but" or "because". If there is a word like this at the beginning of the clause, it is a dependent clause.
The independent clause is lowered our prices. The dependent clause is sales increased.
This question is somewhat ambiguously phrased, because independent and dependent clauses are mutually exclusive categories, and a clause that is introduced by a subordinate conjunction is not independent by definition. However, substituting a coordinating conjunction in a independent clause by a subordinate conjunction can convert an initially independent clause into a dependent clause.
The three different kinds of sentences are simple, compound, and complex. Simple sentences require one independent clause but no dependent clauses. Compound sentences are made up of 2 independent clauses and a dependent clause is possible. A complex sentence requires one independent clause and one dependent clause
