dependent clause in a sentence

Examples

1. Mrs . Simmons'dependent clause is one of a number of apparent asides pervading " Human Voices " and giving it both scope and lilt.
2. A dependent clause also normally contains a subordinating conjunction ( or in the case of relative clauses, a relative pronoun or phrase containing one ).
3. Far worse is the flippant tone the author adopts in talking about the Nazis and Nazi dress, reducing the Holocaust to an afterthought or dependent clause.
4. In the compound pluperfect, the helping verb is in the past imperfective form in a main clause but in the past perfective form in a dependent clause.
5. A dependent clause may be " finite " ( based on a finite verb, as independent clauses are ), or relative clauses, content clauses and adverbial clauses.
6. In the case of English syntax, the conjunction clearly belongs with the second of the clauses and therefore " and my wife is a lawyer " is the dependent clause.
7. It works semantically like the adverbial dependent clause " After I went to the store, . . . . ", but with a gerund instead of subject / finite verb.
8. In example 3, " I enjoyed the bananas " is an independent clause, and " that you bought for me " is a dependent clause; the sentence is thus complex.
9. In the latter sentence, " What my point is " is a dependent clause, and functions as the subject; the second " is " is the main verb of the sentence.
10. I think that because " their " is the last pronoun of the dependent clause and " stores " is the first noun of the independent, there's no cause for confusion.
