Step-by-step explanation:

Independent clauses are those that do not need any complement to make sense, that is, these phrases are self-sufficient to convey a message. They can be written alone so that the reader would understand what was being read without any problem.

Dependent clauses, on the other hand, need a complement to make sense. They are unable to convey a message alone and need to associate themselves with other clauses in order to proceed to form a complete text.
