An independent clause is a PHRASE THAT CAN STAND BY ITSELF IN A SENTENCE,

Dependent can not stand alone, usually is marked with a word like “although, after, as, until,
unless”
Coordinating conjunctions- “and, or, so, yet, but, for”
Introductory phrases- a statement that sets the stage or gives more information for an
