I find it difficult to figure out what your question means. If you are asking if the sentences: "She wanted to leave early or She wanted to stay overnight?" contain dependent clause, the answer is NO. "She wanted to leave early." and "She wanted to stay overnight." are both independent clauses. the OR used to connect the two clauses is a coordinate conjunction. you can tell if the other clause is a dependent clause if the conjunction used is a subordinating conjunction.

Is She wanted to leave early or she wanted to stay overnight A dependent clause?

a dependent clause is a phrase that cannot stand alone in a sentence and both of those phrases are complete thoughts, so no, those are independent clauses.


Main clauses express a complete thought and appear in sentences?

Yes, a sentence has to have at least one independent clause, expressing a complete thought w/o depending on another. This means that a sentence could be made up of only one independent clause. Perhaps it does not express the complete thought you wanted to portray when you were righting the sentence, though, which is why you would then either write a new sentence or add a dependent clause, one that only makes sense with the independent clause.


What are examples of a dependent clause in writing?

Can a sentence start with because?

In most cases, no. However, there is one exception. "Because" can be used to start a sentence, if the sentence describes cause and effect. For example, Because she stayed up all night, Jaime failed the test. This is a cause and effect sentence in which the cause is staying up late and the effect is a failing grade. This is the only case in which beginning a sentence with "because" is grammataically acceptable. "Because I said so!" or any sentences that are not cause and effect are incorrect.


What is an example of a compound sentence?

(A compound sentence consists of two separate thoughts, called "independent clauses," that are joined by aconjunction.)---Example 1I took the test because I wanted to see if I was clever.I took the test. (makes sense separately)I wanted to see if I was clever. (makes sense separately)The conjunction because is the connective word joining them together.Example 2We went to watch the team play baseball, but the game was rained out.We went to watch the game.The game was rained out.The conjunction but is the connective word.Example 3When we tried to leave, the car would not start.We tried to leave.The car would not start.The subordinating conjunction when connects the clauses, but the clause that defines when precedes the problem (would not start) in time.Other examples:I tried out for cheer leading, and Jane tried out for softball.I went to bed, so Emma went to a party.*One way to identify a compound sentence is to look for the coordinating conjunctions represented by the mnemonic FANBOYS : For, And, Nor, But, Or, Yet, So.
