Independent Clause (Main/Principal Clause)
Independent clause is the main/principal clause in a sentence. It can stand alone and can be called a sentence. It does not start with subordinate words such as when, which or if.
The main properties of an independent clause are
It contains a subject.
It contains an action.
It expresses a complete thought, e.g.
Let’s start the play.
(Here ‘play’ is the subject and ‘Let’s start’ is the action.)
The mobile is defective.
(Here ‘mobile’ is the subject and ‘is defective’ is the action.)
I will tell her about the paper pattern.
(Here T is the subject and ‘will tell her about the paper pattern’ is the action.)
2. Dependent Clause (Subordinate Clause)
A dependent clause is a subordinate clause, it starts with subordinate words. It cannot stand alone as a sentence and is labelled according to its function in the sentence.
Dependent clauses are further divided into three kinds
(i) Noun Clause
Noun Clauses function as nouns in relation to the main clause, e.g.
I believe that he knows the secret.
Listen to what the teacher says.
I do not know why he is angry.
What you said is true.
(ii) Relative Clause
Relative clauses are dependent clauses introduced by a relative pronoun (that, which, whichever, who, whoever, whom, whomever, whose and of which). Relative clauses add extra information to a sentence by defining a noun. Relative clauses are also called adjective clauses. The introductory words used for various categories of nouns are
For people – who, whose or what
For things – which or that
For places – where
For times – when
For possession – whose
