me the sentence. +P+.--_A man, man is wise, will be honored_.

+T+.--I will repeat your sentence, changing the order of the words--_A man
will be honored. Man is wise_. Is the last sentence now joined to the first
as a modifier, or are they two separate sentences? +P+.--They are two
separate sentences.

+T+.--Then you see that the pronoun _who_ not only stands for the noun
_man_, but it connects the modifying expression, _who is wise_, to _man_,
the subject of the sentence, _A man will be honored_, and thus there is
formed what we call a +Complex Sentence+. These two parts we call
+Clauses+. _A man will be honored_ is the +Independent Clause;+ _who is
wise_ is the +Dependent Clause+.

Clauses that modify nouns or pronouns are called +Adjective Clauses+.

or a noun+.

+DEFINITION.--An _Independent Clause_ is one not dependent on another

one predicate, either or both of which may be compound+.
