An independent clause is a simple sentence that is correct by itself.
Examples:
I ride the bus.
He wrote a story.
A dependent clause is not correct by itself and is usually attached to an independent clause.
Example:
Although I was sick, I went swimming. (The part before the comma is the dependent clause and the part after is the independent clause because it can be a sentence on it's own.)
An independent clause it a set of words that by themselves are a complete sentence. For example, "when i killed him." A dependent clause needs an independent clause to be a compllete sentence, thus it is 'dependent' on the other clause. "but they did not find out ", is a dependent clause. Put the two clauses together and you have a sentence: "when i killed him, they did not find out."
A complex sentence with two dependent clauses.
A sentence is complex when it contains at least one dependent clause, but it can contain more than one. An example of this would be:
"After Tom had written in his journal and after he had taken a shower, he went to sleep."
Both "After Tom had written in his journal" and "after he had taken a shower" are dependent clauses because they do not express complete thoughts, while "he went to sleep" is an independent clause, since it does express a complete thought.

Although I asked him
"You played tennis anyway" is the independent clause; "although it was raining" is the dependent clause. An independent clause can stand on its own as a sentence, but a dependent clause cannot be a sentence.
It is a complex sentence if it have "Dependent Clause" and "Independent Clause".
You have described a "complex" sentence. - Simple sentence = An independent clause. - Compound sentence = Two independent clauses joined with a conjunction. - Complex sentence = An independent clause plus one or more dependent clauses.
It is a sentence with more than one independent clause and at least one dependent clause.In grammar, a compound complex sentence is made up of two independent clauses as well as at least one dependent clause. An independent clause can stand alone, while a dependent clause cannot, since it is not a complete sentence.
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.
Only an independent clause can stand independently. A dependent clause is dependent on an independent clause.
Yes, it is. That is why it is called "a dependent clause." It is dependent upon the independent clause.
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.
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.
Independent: She rode the bus home. Dependent: Although she rode the bus home
A dependent clause.
Dependent clause is one that is dependent on other part. Independent clause always works alone by itself.
A clause is a grammatical structure that typically contains a subject and a verb, and can be classified as independent (can stand alone as a complete sentence) or dependent (relies on an independent clause for meaning). Clauses are the building blocks of sentences and help to convey meaning and information in written and spoken language.
"You played tennis anyway" is the independent clause; "although it was raining" is the dependent clause. An independent clause can stand on its own as a sentence, but a dependent clause cannot be a sentence.
An insubordinate clause is just another word for an Independent clause. A subordinate clause is just another word for a Dependent clause. An Independent clause is a sentence that can stand by itself and a dependent clause can't stand by itself.
