Dependent Cluases

Last week when I was looking up info on commas, I came across Dependent Clauses and realized that I really didn't know what they were or at least the correct definition of what it was. Here is the definition of what a dependent clauses is.

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.

I hope that helps explain what a dependent clause is. If you go to the following address they will also provide an example of a dependent clause, and will help you better understand clauses.
