Explanation:
A dependent clause is a group of words with a subject and a verb. It does not express a complete thought so it is not a sentence and can't stand alone. Adverb clauses modify verbs and begin with subordinating conjunctions. Here are examples of dependent clauses that are adverb clauses:
When the president arrives
Because I can't wait for the bus
As if he knew what was going to happen
Than his sister can
If you can work on Sundays
Until the sun sets
While flowers continue to bloom
Whenever you come to visit
Since I don't have enough money
These clauses include adverb clauses, adjective clauses and noun clauses.
Adjective clauses modify nouns and usually begin with a relative pronoun and sometimes with a subordinating conjunction. Here are examples of dependent clauses that are adjective clauses:
That I sold him
Which is located in Italy
Who is intelligent
Whom we met after the movie
Whose writing is always intriguing
When the leaves turn colors and fall
Where I went to elementary school
Why the movie was a flop
That was a bestseller
Noun clauses name a person, place, thing or idea. Since it acts as a noun, it can be a subject, object, a subject complement, an object complement or an appositive. Here are examples of dependent clauses that are noun clauses:
Why she said that
Whomever you like
How they would get there
Who let the cat out of the bag
What she anticipated
Whatever makes you happy
That you are listening
