The dependent clause in the given sentence is "After Ben Gross scored the winning goal."
In this clause, the words that make up the dependent clause are:
1. After
2. Ben Gross
3. scored
4. the winning goal
These words work together to form a clause that cannot stand alone as a
complete sentence because it does not express a complete thought. It relies on the rest of the sentence to
make sense.
The dependent clause in this sentence provides additional information about what happened after Ben Gross scored the winning goal. It sets up the context for the coach's action of naming him captain of the soccer team.
