Sally went to the party but forgot to bring an appetizer. Dependent words are either a subordinating conjunction or relative pronoun. Use when the clause the dependent word begins is less important than or explains the other clause. If dependent clause comes first in the sentence, use a comma to separate it from the independent clause.

For example ◦ The New Jerusalem Bible. Ed. Susan Jones. New York: Doubleday, 1985. Print.
