Definitions. A clause is a group of words containing a subject and verb. An independent clause is a simple sentence. It can stand on its own. Examples: She is hungry. I am feeling well today. A dependent clause cannot stand on its own. It needs an independent clause to complete a sentence. Dependent clauses often begin with such words as although, since, if, when, and because.
Clauses. A clause is a larger word group that includes a little more information. It consists at least two phrases-one is a noun phrase known as the subject, and the other is the verb. the big dog barked. In this clause, the noun phrase is the big dog and the verb is barked. This now takes us to the sentence.
