Dependent and subordinate clauses are the same thing. For some people, it is easier to remember the terms dependent and independent in part because they can remember what the words dependent and independent mean (dependent means you rely on others and independent means you can stand alone, just like how the clauses work).

do they mean sub-ordinate and independant clause?

It's when I try to spot clauses in natural, contextualised language I struggle. Consider
"BHP Billiton, the world's largest miner, has closed a nickel refinery in Western Australia for about four months while it rebuilds a smelter furnace, sending the price of nickel soaring." I think in this example "closed" is a past participle and accordingly should indicate dependent clause but it has to be an independent clause because it expresses a complete thought, right? Help please :)

Don't worry about the past participle business. Think about non-essential elements. "The world's largest miner" is non-essential element that interrupts a full sentence. The last phrase is also non-essential, as you would have a complete sentence with out it. Is this sentence from a piece of journalism? It feels like it. Need more help? Feel free to write back! P.V.
