Independent and Dependent Clause
This document defines and provides examples of clauses, specifically independent clauses and dependent clauses:
- An independent clause can stand alone as a complete thought, while a dependent clause cannot due to needing an independent clause to complete its meaning.
- Dependent clauses are introduced by subordinate words like "because", "when", or relative pronouns. They require a comma when placed first in a sentence but not when placed last.
- Together, an independent and dependent clause can form a complete sentence with proper punctuation.

The document uses these examples to demonstrate how to identify tone and mood in written works.

These corporations slowly brainwash us with their views and beliefs with advertisements and bias news. This limits creativity and diversity in the media. In today's society i feel that whoever controls the media has lots of power which can influence the nation greatly
