Identifying Independent and Dependent Clauses
Summary: This handout defines dependent and independent clauses and explores how they are treated in standard usage.
When you want to use commas and semicolons in sentences and when you are concerned about whether a sentence is or is not a fragment, a good way to start is to be able to recognize dependent and independent clauses. The definitions offered here will help you with this.
Independent Clause
An independent clause is a group of words that contains a subject and verb and expresses a complete thought. An independent clause is a sentence.
Ex: Jim studied in the Sweet Shop for his chemistry quiz.
Dependent Clause
A dependent clause is a group of words that contains a subject and verb but does not express a complete thought. A dependent clause cannot be a sentence. Often a dependent clause is marked by a dependent marker word.
Ex: When Jim studied in the Sweet Shop for his chemistry quiz . . . (What happened when he studied? The thought is incomplete.)
Dependent Marker Word
A dependent marker word is a word added to the beginning of an independent clause that makes it into a dependent clause.
Ex: When Jim studied in the Sweet Shop for his chemistry quiz, it was very noisy.
Some common dependent markers are: after, although, as, as if, because, before, even if, even though, if, in order to, since, though, unless, until, whatever, when, whenever, whether, and while.
Your assignment:
This week, you will create two responses. Each response will include three independent clauses and three sentences that begin with dependent clauses created from each of the independent clauses.
For example:
IC (independent clause): I went to the beach.
DCS (dependent clause sentence): After I went to the beach, I stopped for ice cream.
IC: Mark went to the museum.
DCS: Because Mark went to the museum, he developed an interest in sculpture.
IC: I babysit to earn money.
DCS: Until I babysit to earn money, I can't afford an iPod.
