The sentence "People visit Yosemite because it is so beautiful" contains both an independent clause and a dependent clause. The independent clause is "People visit Yosemite," as it can stand alone as a complete thought. The dependent clause is "because it is so beautiful," which cannot stand alone and provides additional information about the reason for the visit.
A complex sentence is a sentence that contains an independent clause and at least one dependent clause. The independent clause can stand alone as a complete sentence, while the dependent clause relies on the independent clause to make sense.
That would be a complex sentence.
Dependent means the opposite of independent.
Only an independent clause can stand independently. A dependent clause is dependent on an independent clause.
A sentence that can be reverse, with the independent in front and the dependent can be at the end of a sentence.
One independent clause + dependent clause= complex sentence Two independent clauses = compound sentence Two or more independent clauses + two or more dependent clauses = compound-complex sentence
A complex sentence is a sentence that has one dependent and one independent clause. The dependent and independent clauses are joined together. A complex sentence is used to make important ideas clear.
"He moved" is the independent clause because it can stand alone as a complete sentence. "But then" is a subordinating conjunction that introduces the dependent clause which adds more information about the action in the independent clause.
An independent clause can stand on its own as a sentence. A dependent clause contains a subject and verb but cannot be a sentence. In the sentence "I'll stop by your office after I finish my lunch", "I'll stop by your office" is an independent clause, and "after I finish my lunch" is a dependent clause.
Yes, it is. That is why it is called "a dependent clause." It is dependent upon the independent clause.
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.
