The clause "since you left our house early" is an adverb clause (of cause). Why the early departure caused the car to be washed is not clear. If not for 'early' the clause could just as easily be one of time, "since you left the house" being the time after which the car was washed.

The sentence is not only awkward but the usage of the word since is not appropriate and ambiguous. This occurs when transliterations of any Indo Aryan or Indo Burmese generic language is used to express it in English semantics.
The word since would imply a time from some moment to the present:
eg: I have been working since nine o'clock.(the action is till the present moment)
I washed since early morning X (does not extend the time agreement)
1. The word since can be preposition to mean before or after a specific time in a sentence.
2. It could be used as a conjunction to mean because or from the time that.
3.It could be used as an adverb to mean since that timeor event We washed the car is the first sentence with the conjunction since to connect the second sentence : you left our house early.
The sentence to qualify with a subordinate clause can be restructured:
The car was washed since you left our house early morning . (adverb clause of reason)
This is a subordinate adverbial clause, as it provides information about the time ("since you left our house early"). It cannot stand alone as a complete sentence.
The underlined adverb clause modifies an infinitive in the sentence: "She arrived early to win the race." In this sentence, "to win the race" is the infinitive phrase, and the adverb clause "early" modifies the purpose or reason for her arrival.
An independent clause can stand alone as a complete sentence; a dependent one cannot. An independent clause (or main clause, matrix clause) is a clause that can stand by itself, also known as a simple sentence. Independent clauses contain a subject and a predicate. Multiple independent clauses can be joined by using a semicolon or a comma plus a coordinating conjunction (for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so). The dog is running down the street = independent clause Because its master called it = dependent clause
Noun clauses do not modify they are subordinate clauses which can fill the position of subject object complement etc in a clause.There are four main kinds of noun clauses in Englishthat clause - Everyone believes that the earth is round.Wh - clause - What she believes is no business of yours.infinitive clause - His plan is to catch the early flight.-ing clause - They are in danger of making a mistake
The noun 'mineral' is a singular, common, concrete noun; a word for a thing. A noun is used in a sentence as the subject of a sentence or a clause, and the object of a verb or a preposition. Example sentences:After the volcanic eruption, the mineral content of the local water had changed.A particularly useful mineral, it is imported from mines in Africa.Mineral oil is derived from petroleum, and is mostly indigestible.Salt is a mineral.
No. The clause "since you left our house early" is an adverb clause.
Yes, it appears to be an adverb of cause: the car was washed because someone left early. But was it washed because they had nothing else to do, or because they couldn't get to the car otherwise?

A main clause is a clause that can stand by itself and still make sense.example: Although the assignment was given early, Joe's term paper was late.the main clause in this sentence is "Joe's term paper was late" because it makes sense by itself whereas "Although the assignment was given early," doesn't.jason bought the candy bar, while waiting for his mom
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.
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.
