Question

what type of clause is the following? if you follow these guidelines independant clause, dependent clause, primary clause, and main clause

Answer 1

Answer:

Dependent clause.

Explanation:

A dependent clause is a clause or group of words that cannot stand on its own as a sentence. They need to be part of another clause, an independent clause, to be in a sentence. They contain a subject and a verb but cannot function as a complete sentence or thought.

In the given clause "if you follow these guidelines", the presence of the conditional adverb "if" makes it a dependent clause.

Thus, the correct answer is a dependent clause.
