Social change refers to the transformation of culture, behavior, social institutions, and social structure over time. We are familiar from Modernization. Modernization refers to the process and impact of becoming more modern.
A dependent, or subordinate, clause contains a subject and a verb or verb phrase but does not express a complete thought. As a result, it cannot stand alone as a sentence. Dependent clauses can function either as noun clauses, adjective clauses, or adverb clauses. An adjective clause is a dependent clause that, like an adjective, modifies a noun or pronoun. Adjective clauses begin with words such as that, when, where, who, whom, whose, which, and why.
Remember, a clause is a group of related words containing a subject and a verb. A clause comes in four types; independent, dependent, relative or noun clause. Every clause has at least a subject and a verb. An independent clause, also called a main clause, is a clause that can stand on its own. noun clause is any clause that replaces, and functions as, a noun. It's another type of dependent clause. 1  For example, in the sentence, 'You really do not want to know the ingredients in Aunt Nancy's stew,' the noun is ingredients.
