Answer:
An independent clause
An independent clause (or main clause) is a clause that can stand by itself as a simple sentence. An independent clause contains a subject and a predicate and makes sense by itself.
A dependent clause
According to certain traditional linguistic theories, a subordinate clause or dependent clause is a clause that provides a sentence element with additional information, but which cannot stand as a sentence.A dependent clause can either modify an adjacent clause or serve as a component of an independent clause.
