When introductory dependent clauses precede independent clauses, they are always followed by a comma. a. true b. false

True.

Explanation:

Introductory dependent clauses come before the independent clause-main clause. The function of introductory dependent clauses are to provide background information about the independent clause. They announce something important or something needed to solidify the understanding of the  independent clauses.  For this reason, a comma is needed to separate the introductory dependent clause from independent clause. The separation by comma brings clarity between the introductory dependent clause and independent clause in a sentence.

Example: When saw Andre this morning, she greeted him.
