A Dependent Clause or Principal Clause is a group of words that expresses a complete thought thus its meaning is complete by itself.
Examples

I learned English fluently after I moved to USA
Many planes fly over the city.
The fans starts screaming when the actress came.
I will prepare dinner when I get home.
Note: Subordinate Clause or Independent Clause always starts with a subordinate conjunction or a relative pronoun.
Examples:
SUBORDINATE CONJUNCTION:
when, as soon as, since, if, unless, as, for, than, before, while, as long as, so that, because, eventhough, although, as if, until, after, whenever, wherever...
RELATIVE PRONOUN:
who, what, which, whose, whom...
SENTENCES

Punctuation: If the Independent clause or Subordinate Clause comes FIRST, you must use a comma. BUT, if the relative pronoun comes first, we don't need it
Example: He who finishes first will go home.
(Here, the relative pronoun comes first. I do not need a comma.)

A clause that cannot stand alone?
the clause that couldn't stand on its own is called: Dependent clause or Subordinating clause. example: before you leave for work today. another would be: After the long exhausting day. These two examples may contain a subject and a verb (you - subject and leave - verb [for the first example]) but this group of words is dependent clause because this group of words does not express a complete thought and it needs to be attached to a main clause or a independent clause. By the way, a clause that could stand on its own is called a main clause or an idependent clause. An example of which is "I slept for three hours." This in fact is an independent clause or a simple sentence. but if you attach the dependent clause - "After a long exhausting day." you will have a sentence that looks like this: After the long exhausting day, I slept for three hours. (this now becomes a complex sentence. It is a combination of an independent clause and a dependent clause in one sentence.
