'Dependent and independent clauses
Clauses are typically classified as either dependent or independent. An independent clause can stand alone as a complete simple sentence, whereas a dependent clause must be connected to or part of another clause. The dependent clause is then described as subordinate to a main clause, or (if it is part of a larger clause) as embedded in a matrix clause.

Examples in English include:

"I went to the store" (independent)
"because I went to the store" (dependent)
"after I went to the store" (dependent)
"me to go to the store" (dependent; non-finite), as in "He wanted me to go to the store."
"that I went to" (dependent), as in "That's the store that I went to."
