The clauses are independent clauses. A clause that may be used as a simple phrase on its own is known as an independent clause. An independent sentence is one that makes sense on its own and has a subject and predicate. A semicolon or a comma and coordinating conjunction can be used to connect independent sentences.

These are the dependent clauses. a collection of words that expresses a partial notion yet has a subject and verb. A sentence cannot be a dependent clause. A clause that is inserted within a complicated phrase is known by several names, including subordinate clause, dependent clause, subclause, and embedded clause. For instance, the word "that Bette is a dolphin" appears as the complement of the verb "know" in the English sentence "I know that Bette is a dolphin." occurs as the complement of the verb "know" rather than as a freestanding sentence

a. I will complete my project after i reach home is a independent clause,

b. it was getting dark and we were far from the home. its is also a independent clause.

c. the schoolwas shut due to rain , it is a dependent clause,

d. after the teacher left the student rushed home this is independent clause.
