A dependent clause (or '''subordinate clause''') cannot stand alone as a sentence. It usually begins with a Subordinating Conjunction or, in the case of an adverb or adjective clause ( See Below ), a Relative Pronoun . A sentence with an independent clause and one or more dependent clauses is referred to as a '' Complex Sentence ''. One with two or more independent clauses and one or more dependent clauses is referred to as a '' Compound-complex Sentence ''. EXAMPLES
The above sentence actually contains two dependent clauses. "When they told me" is one; the other is "(that) I won the contest." The "that" is understood to precede the "I won" and functions as a subordinating conjunction. |
