A subordinate independent clause is a type of clause that has both dependent and independent qualities. It can function independently as a complete sentence but is usually part of a larger sentence and relies on another clause for context or meaning. This type of clause often begins with a subordinating conjunction.
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.
A coordinating conjunction links two independant clauses, but a subordinating conujunction links a independant clause and a dependant clause.Coordinating; Main clause+ cc + main clauseSubordinating; Main clause+ sc+ dependant clause (or reverse)For example;1. (CC) I usualy go rock-climbing with my friends on weekends, but (coordinating conj) this saturday I will stay home and work.2. (SC) Rather then (subordinating conj) going rock-climbing this weekend, I will stay home and work.
Dependent (subordinate) clauses are clauses that have a subject and a verb but cannot stand alone.An example is:When the cat ran under the car.This is a dependent clause because the word "when" makes the statement unable to stand on its own.
A nonrestrictive clause is a clause that is not essential to the overall meaning of a sentence and cannot be punctuated as its own sentence; they are also known as nonessential clauses and dependant clauses. In the sentence "After he returned home from school, James realized that he had left a notebook on his bus," the introductory adverbial clause "After he returned home from school" modifies and is not essential to the meaning of the main clause "James realized that he had left a notebook on his bus" because it tells when the realization occurred; therefore, the clause is nonrestrictive.

The clause "before Jane leaves" is a dependent clause, which means it relies on an independent clause, or main clause, to complete the sentence's meaning.Answer:'Before Jane leaves home,..' on its own is a dependent clause, or what is also known as a hanging clause waiting for the main clause to make it complete.'Before Jane leaves home' is also an introductory adverbial clause as it has a subject 'I' and a verb 'leaves' which make it a clause, then it has the prepositional word 'before' telling when Janes leaves home. This; therefore, introduces the adverbial clause.Before Jane leaves home, she clears the table.'She clears the table.' ( main clause that can stand on its own as a dependant sentence)'Before she leaves home,...' is dependent on 'she clears the table.' to make it complete.
The dependant variable is what is tested in an experiment.
a comma is used when the writer would like to indicate a pause in the conversation. This pause can be the result of a breath, the result of a thought, or the result of waiting for the person to catch on. Other uses of the comma include, "right before quotation marks", when separating varriables (as in a list), or when leading to a new clause in the sentence that is directly dependant on the first clause.
A sentence has a subject and a verb. It is a complete thought and can stand on it's own. A clause is not a complete thought. It is missing a subject or verb. It cannot stand on it's own.
