Which sentence type includes both a subordinate clause and an independent clause?

The sentence type that includes both a subordinate clause and an independent clause is a complex sentence.

Here's a breakdown:

* Independent clause: A complete thought that can stand alone as a sentence.

* Subordinate clause: A clause that cannot stand alone as a sentence and depends on the independent clause for its meaning. It typically begins with a subordinating conjunction (e.g., because, although, when, if).

Example:

* "Although it was raining, we went for a walk."

* Independent clause: "We went for a walk."

* Subordinate clause: "Although it was raining"
