A dependent clause contains a subject and a verb but cannot stand alone. It is crucial in understanding sentence structure.
A dependent clause is a group of words that contains a subject and a verb BUT it cannot stand alone because it starts with a subordinator, words like although, while, since, because, if, until, after. For example:
In sentence 2, 'dashing after him, two police officers plowed through the lobby crowd,' 'dashing after him' is the dependent clause as it cannot stand alone and is connected to the independent clause.
Identifying dependent clauses helps in creating clear subject-verb relationships in sentences.
