The dependent clause, "whatever you like" is an adverbial clause, modifying the verb "can take".
The word "whatever" can function as an adjective, an adverb, a pronoun, and interjection.
It is an adverb clause. It will say "when" an activity may take place.
"Before" is an adverb, just like "again"' Take this sentence as an example. "I've seen this movie before." In this sentence "before" is modifying the understood word "now".
Which camera? Where would you like to take it?
Well, let's take a moment to appreciate the beauty of language here. The adjective in this sentence is "sound," which describes the noun "nutrition." The article is "the," which helps us know that the noun "families" is specific. Just like when we paint a happy little tree, each word plays a special role in creating a lovely picture for our minds.
The word you've is a contraction, which is two words combined, 'you' is a personal pronoun and 'have' is a verb. The contraction you've functions as the subject and the verb (or auxiliary verb) of a sentence or a clause. Examples:You have won the jackpot! OR: You've won the jackpot!
This sentence is a complex sentence, as it contains an independent clause ("I'm going to take a nap") and a dependent clause ("When I get home from school").
The noun clause 'how you take car of it' is the object of the preposition 'on'.
There are two clauses in the sentence. "Before Samantha can take her driving test" contains a dependent clause "Before Samantha can take her driving test" and an independent clause "Samantha can take her driving test."
The subordinate clause in the sentence "After you finish your dinner you may go to the movies" is "After you finish your dinner." This clause provides a condition for the main clause and cannot stand alone as a complete sentence. It is classified as an adverbial clause because it modifies the verb "may go" by indicating when the action can take place.
The pronouns that take the place of the plural noun potatoes are they as the subject of a sentence or a clause, and them as the object of a verb or a preposition.Examples:I've baked some potatoes for dinner. They are ready now.How do you like your potatoes? I like them mashed.
Ah, what a lovely question! "Before we went out" is a subordinate clause because it cannot stand alone as a complete sentence. It depends on the main clause to give it full meaning, just like how a happy little tree needs a beautiful sky to truly shine.
That is not actually a complete sentence. It is a dependent clause because it cannot stand alone. If you were to take off the subordinating conjunction "when," it could stand alone and would a sentence. The simple subject in that dependent clause is field.
To be an idependent clause a phrase would need a conjugated verb. i.e "a bushel of apples to take home" is a phrase. "I need a bushel of apples to take home" is a complete sentence.

A prepositional phrase in a sentence is the clause starting with the preposition. The simplistic structure of the prepositional phrase contains a preposition and a noun, though this noun can take the form of a noun clause. Prepositional phrases act as adjectives and adverbs.
Yes. "Should you take the bus to school" is the main clause. "or" is the *coordinating* conjunction "should you walk" is the independent clause. Coordinating conjunctions are used to connect independent clauses. Actually, both clauses are interchangeable, and both are independent. They are independent because they can stand alone as complete sentences: "Should you take the bus to School?" is a complete sentence. "Should you walk?" is also a complete sentence. A dependent clause could not stand by itself as a complete sentence. For example: "You could take the bus, although I think you should walk". "...although I think you should walk" is a dependent clause because it is introduced with the *subordinating* conjunction "although" and cannot stand alone by itself as a sentence. Subordinating conjunctions are used to join dependent clauses to main clauses. An understanding of the different type of conjunctions, and how they are used, would help you understand the difference between dependent and independent clauses.
