The clause which are dependent on other clauses are known as dependent clause or 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. These clauses include adverb clauses, adjective clauses and nounclauses.

Yes I can help you with that plz refer following text
THANK YOU FOR COOPERATION.
As you’ve already learned, dependent clauses cannot stand alone in a sentence, just as tired people cannot function without coffee. A dependent (or subordinate) clause begins with a subordinating conjunction, such as if, after, before, because, although, or when, and it requires the support of an independent clause to constitute a complete sentence.
There are a few different types of dependent clauses: adjective clauses, adverbial clauses, and noun clauses.
Adjective Clauses
An adjective clause is a dependent clause that describes a noun in another part of a sentence. Usually, an adjective clause is very close to the noun it describes. Adjective clauses begin with the relative pronouns who, whom, whose, that, or which. They can also begin with the relative adverbs when, where, or why.
There’s the café that you’ve been looking for all day.
The subject is the café. Pay close attention to the word that and what follows it. The phrase that you’ve been looking for all day gives us information about or describes the noun café. That means it’s an adjective clause, and because an adjective clause is a type of dependent clause, it cannot stand on its own.
Adverbial Clauses
Adverbial clauses are dependent clauses that tell us why, when, how, or under which conditions something occurs. Look at the following example.
Although you already had six cups of coffee, you decided to buy more coffee anyway.
We know the adverbial clause can’t be you decided to buy more coffee anyway because it can stand alone as a complete sentence. However, the adverbial clause, although you already had six cups of coffee, tells us under what circumstances you decided to buy more coffee. The adverbial clause, which is a dependent clause, needs the independent clause to form a complete sentence.
Noun Clauses
Noun clauses can act as either the subject or the object of a clause, and they usually begin with words like what, why, who, and that.
I don’t care what the doctors say about caffeine intake.
In the first part of the sentence, the subject is I, and don’t care is the verb phrase. The noun clause is what the doctors say about caffeine intake. This clause describes what it is that the subject doesn’t care about and is therefore dependent (like some caffeine-obsessed people I know).
Conclusion
Here’s a brief summary: independent clauses are made up of a subject and predicate, and can stand alone as a sentence. Like cups of coffee, they’re perfect on their own. Dependent clauses are made up of a subject and predicate but cannot stand alone due to the presence of a subordinating word, such as although, if, or because. Dependent clauses are like coffee lovers; they cannot stand on their own. They need coffee!
Dependent clauses can be any of the following: adjective clauses, which describe nouns; adverbial clauses, which tell us why, when, how, or under which conditions something occurs in a sentence; or noun clauses, which act as the subject or the object of a clause and usually begin with words like what, why, who, and that. Dependent clauses need independent clauses like coffee lovers need coffee. Together, they can’t be stopped!
