Examples of Dependent Clauses
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 noun clauses.

Adverb Clauses
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
Although I had never considered it
Unless you have the right size
As the lights were dimming
No matter how you look at it
How he got elected
Before the food gets cold
Supposing that she really wanted to go
