Independent and Dependent Clauses • An independent clause is a group of words that contains a subject and verb and expresses a complete thought. An independent clause is a sentence. – Jim studied in the cafeteria for his chemistry quiz. • 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. – When Jim studied in the cafeteria for his Chemistry quiz. (NOT a sentence!)

Dependent Marker Words • A dependent marker word is a word added to the beginning of an independent clause that makes it into a dependent clause. Examples: – When Jim studied in the cafeteria for his chemistry quiz. (NOT a sentence!) • Some common dependent markers are: after, although, as if, because, before, even if, even though, if, in order to, since, though, unless, until, whatever, whenever, whether, and while

Coordinating Conjunctions • Coordinating conjunctions are used as connecting words at the beginning of an independent clause. • They are: for, and, nor, but, or, yet, & so. (FANBOYS) • When the second independent clause in a sentence begins with a coordinating conjunction, a comma is needed before the coordinating conjunction: – Example: Jim studied in the cafeteria for his chemistry quiz, but it was hard to concentrate because of the noise.

Independent Marker Word • Some common independent marker words are: also, consequently, furthermore, however, moreover, nevertheless, and therefore. • An independent marker word is a connecting word used at the beginning of an independent clause. • These words can always begin a sentence that can stand alone. • When the second independent clause in a sentence has an independent marker word, a semicolon is needed before the independent marker word. – Example: Jim studied in the cafeteria for his chemistry quiz; however, it was hard to concentrate because of the noise.
