Grammar Mini Lesson
Let's first go over last night's gramar homework (#1-3)

Notes:
A dependent clause is a group of words that also contains a subject and a verb, but it is not a complete thought. Because it is not a complete thought, a dependent clause cannot stand on its own as a sentence; it is dependent on being attached to an independent clause to form a sentence.
