Review of Clauses
Independent Clause An independent clause is a group of words that contains
a subject and verb and expresses a complete thought. An independent clause is a simple sentence. Example: Jim studied in the Sweet Shop for his
chemistry quiz.Dependent Clause A dependent clause is a group of words that contains a
subject and verb but does not express a complete thought. A dependent clause cannot be a sentence. Often a dependent clause is marked by a dependent marker word. Example: When Jim studied in the Sweet Shop for
his chemistry quiz . . . (What happened when he studied? The thought is incomplete.)

Complex Sentences

Joining Sentences with Subordinators (aka subordinating conjunctions/ dependent marker words) Subordinators- help us show a variety of
relationships between ideas When we place a subordinator at the beginning of
an independent clause, it becomes a dependent clause.
Remember a dependent clause cannot stand on it’s own, so it must be joined to an independent clause.
Punctuation- When the subordinate clause comes first in a sentence, it is always followed by a comma. If the independent clause comes first, there is NO comma.
