+T+.—Then you see that the pronoun who not only stands for the noun man, but it connects the modifying expression, who is wise, to man, the subject of the sentence, A man will be honored, and thus there is formed what we call a +Complex Sentence+. These two parts we call +Clauses+. A man will be honored is the +Independent Clause;+ who is wise is the +Dependent Clause+.
Clauses that modify nouns or pronouns are called +Adjective Clauses+.
+DEFINITION.—A Clause is a part of a sentence containing a subject and its predicate+.
+DEFINITION.—A Dependent Clause is one used as an adjective, an adverb, or a noun+.
+DEFINITION.—An Independent Clause is one not dependent on another clause+.
+DEFINITION.—A Simple Sentence is one that contains but one subject and one predicate, either or both of which may be compound+.
+DEFINITION.—A Complex Sentence is one composed of an independent clause and one or more dependent clauses+.
