Excerpt from A Teachers'manual of English Grammar and Analysis
The term principal is more accurate than independent, hence in this manual its use is preferred. A's a rule, clauses are rarely independent. Occasionally such a construction occurs. In the sentence, He runs, as it were, on the wings of the wind, the clause, as it were, is strictly independent; that is, it has no grammatical connection, Whatever, with the remainder of the sentence. It should be construed as a clause used independently.
Classified as to meaning, or use, clauses are nounal, adjectival, and adverbial.
