A dependent clause is a clause (subject and predicate) that cannot form a sentence by itself. An example would be: "When I went to the store" --this clause has a subject and verb, but the word "when" makes it dependent on more information. Another example would be "Although she felt sad"--it needs another clause to make it a complete sentence.
a complete subject and a complete predicate
There are two kinds of clauses and three types of clauses in the English language. The two kinds are independent and dependent. An independent clause consists of a subject and a predicate that represent a complete thought. Dependent clauses depend on independent clauses to make complete sense. the three dependent clauses are noun clauses, adjective clauses, and adverb clauses.
You have described a "complex" sentence. - Simple sentence = An independent clause. - Compound sentence = Two independent clauses joined with a conjunction. - Complex sentence = An independent clause plus one or more dependent clauses.

Conjunctions introduce independent clauses and coordinate them in pairs or groups. They do not introduce dependent clauses, which are typically introduced by subordinating conjunctions.

Dependent clauses, also known as subordinate clauses, are clauses that cannot stand alone as complete sentences and require additional information to make sense within a sentence. These clauses typically begin with subordinating conjunctions such as "because," "although," or "if."
