An Independent clause is independent or main clause expresses a complete thought and can stand by itself as a sentence. An Subordinate clause is a subordinate (or dependent) clause does not express a complete thought and cannot stand by itself as a complete sentence.
main clause; subordinate clause
The dogs grew impatient when they saw the pieces of meat. The dogs grew impatient - main clause, because it can function independently when they saw the pieces of meat - adverbial clause of time; it is dependent because it cannot be used by itself
A simple sentence is an independent clause that is not joined to any other clause and stands by itself.
An insubordinate clause is just another word for an Independent clause. A subordinate clause is just another word for a Dependent clause. An Independent clause is a sentence that can stand by itself and a dependent clause can't stand by itself.
Its Main cause; Subordinate Clause- Just got it right for apexx
A simple sentence
A dependent clause is called a subordinate clause because it cannot stand alone as a complete sentence and relies on an independent clause to form a complete thought. The subordinate clause adds extra information to the independent clause, but cannot function independently.
They are only partially similar. A sentence is complete in itself, a clause - whether a main clause or a subordinate clause - may not be complete.
Only an independent clause can stand independently. A dependent clause is dependent on an independent clause.
Dependent clause is one that is dependent on other part. Independent clause always works alone by itself.
It's a clause that makes a complete sentence all by itself. So... Julie ran outside. "Julie ran outside" is an independent clause. Julie, who is my friend, ran outside. "Who is my friend" isn't a sentence by itself, so it's a dependent clause.
