yes.
Yes, "because I said so" is a dependent clause. By itself it is a fragment.
The sentence "People visit Yosemite because it is so beautiful" contains both an independent clause and a dependent clause. The independent clause is "People visit Yosemite," as it can stand alone as a complete thought. The dependent clause is "because it is so beautiful," which cannot stand alone and provides additional information about the reason for the visit.
The dependent clause in the sentence is "Because you have so much homework." This clause cannot stand alone as a complete thought and provides the reason for the main clause, which is "you have to stay up late every night."
Because is NOT a noun at all. It is a conjunction. There are eight parts of speech: Noun, verb, pronoun, preposition, adjective, adverb, interjections, and conjunctions. Conjunctions link words, phrases, and clauses.Because is a subordinating conjunction where a word, phrase, or clause is dependent on another clause. The most common subordinating conjunctions are "after," "although," "as," "because," "before," "how," "if," "once," "since," "than," "that," "though," "till," "until," "when," "where," "whether," and "while."Example: She went home because she was so tired.She went home is an independent clause upon which because she was so tired is dependent. Because acts as the link between the dependent clause she was so tired and the independent clause She went home. The dependent clause is subordinate to the independent clause.
Yes, a subordinating conjunction is one that connects an independent clause to a dependent clause, such as "I will do the laundry (independent clause) after (subordinating conjunction) the TV show is over (dependent clause)"Common examples: after, although, as, as far as, as if, as long as, as soon as, as though, because, before, if, in order that, since, so, so that, than, though, unless, until, when, whenever, where, whereas, wherever, and while

A clause that modifies a noun or a pronoun is a relative clause; a clause introduced by a relative pronoun; a clause that 'relates' to a noun or pronoun in the sentence.The relative pronouns are: who, whom, whose, which, that.Examples:The man who fixed the dishwasher was recommended by my sister. the clause 'who fixed the dishwasher' relates to the noun 'man'The people to whom we sent invitations are all current customers. the clause 'to whom we sent invitations' relates to the noun 'people'The person whose mailbox I hit was very nice about it. the clause 'whose mailbox I hit' relates to the noun 'person'Discussing which movie to see, we decided on the animated penguins. the clause 'which movie to see' relates to the gerund 'discussing'The one that I got said that I had thirty days to respond. the clause 'that I got' relates to the indefinite pronoun 'one'
If you break this sentence apart, then you would see that Marisol was happy is an independent clause. Because her sunflower was so beautiful would be the dependent clause, I would think. Because is also a prepositional phrase beginning...
no yes maybe so
An independent clause can stand alone as a complete sentence; a dependent one cannot. An independent clause (or main clause, matrix clause) is a clause that can stand by itself, also known as a simple sentence. Independent clauses contain a subject and a predicate. Multiple independent clauses can be joined by using a semicolon or a comma plus a coordinating conjunction (for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so). The dog is running down the street = independent clause Because its master called it = dependent clause
All the subordinating conjunctions are: Because, if, that, since, who, what where, when, why, how, so, and then. Peace Out Homedog! :-)
The main idea of the sentence is 'I stopped the car', so this is the independent clause. 'When the whistle blew' gives additional information, but isn't meaningful alone. It is the dependent clause.
