Although a simple sentence cannot have a dependent clause, it can have modifiers:
First, we need to define modifiers. Modifiers are words that give more information or details about another word or words in the same sentence.
Example: The tall student sitting in the back in my algebra class yawned loudly
The basic sentence is ‘The student yawned’. The other words are modifiers - they are descriptive words.

Beware of fragments
Sentence fragments are incomplete sentences that don't contain a complete thought. When you read these sentences you are confused because they DO NOT make sense!
Example: James outside. ( does this sentence make sense? what is this sentence missing?)
