In English grammar there are two main types of clauses. They are either
- independent (main) clauses, which need nothing further, or
- dependent (subordinate/relative) clauses which need, or are subordinate to, an independent clause.
For example:
'The restaurant wasn't very clean.' is an independent clause. It needs nothing further in order to have meaning.
But in the sentence 'The restaurant we went to on Saturday wasn't very clean', the phrase 'we went to on Saturday' is a dependent (subordinate/relative) clause. It adds information about the noun i.e. 'the restaurant' that preceded it.
Dependent clauses are of different types and can take a number of forms.
