Independent clauses
He saw her. The Washington’s hurried home. Free speech has a price.
Grammatically complete statements like these are sentences and can stand alone.
When they are part of longer sentences, they are referred to
as independent (or main) clauses.
Subordinate clauses
A subordinate clause has a subject and verb but, unlike an independent clause,
cannot stand by itself. It depends on something else in the sentence to express a
complete thought, which is why it's also called a dependent clause. Some
subordinate clauses are introduced by relative pronouns ( who, whom, that, which,
what, whose) and some by subordinating conjunctions ( although, because,
if, unless, when, etc.). Subordinate clauses function in sentences as adjectives,
nouns, and adverbs.
Relative clauses
The novel that won the Pulitzer Prize didn't sell well when it was first published.
