When introductory dependent clauses precede independent clauses, they are always followed by a comma. Group of answer choices True False

True.

Explanation:

Dependent clauses are those words that are not capable of standing on their own. They have to depend on the independent clause to make a full meaningful sentence. Independent clauses, on the other hand, are those words that can stand on their own and make meaningful sentence.

When dependent clauses are used as introductory words in a sentence, meaning they start the sentence, the whole of the dependent clause will be followed by a comma. This means that the comma will be the separating 'wall' for the dependent and independent clause.

For example,

When the rains start to fall, all of the residents began to rush towards the safety of the house.
