Dependent Clause - A dependent clause cannot stand alone as a sentence. Here is an example: when dad is not homeThis clause does not express a complete thought and cannot stand alone.

What is an independent clause?
Independent Clause - An independent clause can stand alone as a sentence. Here is an example: We walk to school. This sentence expresses a complete thought and can stand alone.

What is a fragment? A sentence fragment is a group of words that is only part of a sentence and does not express a complete thought. Usually sentence fragments are pieces of sentences that have become disconnected from the main clauses.
