In this independent and dependent clause quiz you have to identify whether the sentence in red is a dependent or independent clause.
If you don't know the difference between these, then take a look at this types of clauses lesson before you start.
Knowing the difference between independent and dependent clauses is critical if you want to avoid writing sentence fragments and write more complex types of sentence.
'If' tells you that this is the dependent clause and also it would not make sense on its own. 'I will be so upset' makes sense on its own, so it's independent.
The first clause does not make sense on its own, so its dependent.
The clause in red has 'when' at the start, so its dependent.
This is an adverbial clause, and the part in red is the independent part of the clause.
The part in red is a relative clause and so is dependent. It would not make sense on its own but 'My sister has always been very outgoing and confident' could stand alone as a sentence.
The part with 'that' is a noun clause. 'I believe' is categorised as a complete thought so is the independent clause.
'After' should have made it clear that it's the dependent clause, and so the other part is independent.
This is an adverbial clause, with 'because' creating the dependent clause.
'That has been stolen' is the dependent part of this relative clause. The other part in red could stand alone as a complete thought if the dependent clause was removed i.e. 'The car was parked in front of the house'.
'As' should tell you that the second part of the sentence is a dependent clause.
