Sentences are build by clauses. These clauses may be independent clauses or dependent clauses.
<span>Independent clauses are those that can stand on their own. Whereas, dependent clauses can not. </span>
<span>Dependent clauses are used to make independent clauses more interesting or complete. There must be an independent clause for a dependent clause to be present. </span>
I need to identify independent clause to properly define the use of dependent clause.
An independent clause has three components: subject, an action or predicate, express complete thought. An independent clause can simply be a subject and a verb. Ex: She sleeps.
A dependent clause has a subject and verb but does not express a complete thought. Its presence in a sentence is made known when it is preceded by a marker word or conjunction.
Marker words - before, after, because, since, in order to, although, though, whenever, wherever, whether, while, even though, even if
conjunction - and, or, nor, but, yet.
A dependent clause must be joined to an independent clause to avoid becoming a fragment.
<span>Example: Because I lied. - fragment </span> Because I lied, My mom got angry. - Correct Sentence
My mom got angry - independent clause <span>Because I lied - dependent clause - complete thought was express when it was attached to the independent clause</span>
The agency cost here is the extra fifteen minutes the employees take for lunch. Reaffirming the lunch break time could be a solution, if the cafeteria has enough resources to handle it. But if the agency needs to hire more staff to work at the cafeteria so the serving procedure is faster, this would become an agency cost, maybe even larger than the inicial extra fifteen minutes cost. The corporation could also extend the workday by fifteen minutes, and make the lunch break 45 minutes long. But this could also become a larger agency cost, to negotiate a new work day schedule.
