Mil gracias :)
Another way to recognize dependent and independent clauses is to look for signal words. ***Signal words*** often appear before phrases and, once you're in the habit of looking for them, can alert you to a dependent clause. For example, the phrase "When it rains in Seattle," is a dependent clause. It has a subject ("it") and a verb ("rains"), but it does not express a complete thought. The word "When" is also another indicator that you are looking at a phrase. "When" is one of several **signal words** called a subordinating conjunction. Other subordinating conjunctions include: although, because, before, how, if, since, though, where, whether, and while.
