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>

Firstly, look at the root of a word, like pre, it often means before. There are many roots in english, including latin roots and greek roots, if you know most of them, then your answer must be correct.
Secondly, look at how a word ends, like ing, it means action, doing something. So looking at how it ends usually helps.
If you don't know, make a logical guess is a thing that helps too. You might be right!
