An independent clause can stand alone as a complete sentence, containing both a subject and a verb. A dependent clause cannot stand alone as it is missing either a subject or verb and needs to be connected to an independent clause. Examples of independent clauses include "We walk to school" and "The boys won the soccer game". An example of a dependent clause is "Until the sun sets".
