Dependent clauses form a critical foundation in English grammar instruction, representing subordinate sentence elements that cannot stand alone as complete thoughts. Wayground's presentation collection offers comprehensive visual learning resources that provide structured instruction on identifying, classifying, and properly integrating dependent clauses into complex sentence structures.
