Types of clauses (category and usage).
Do the below examples contain introductory clauses. They are setting the stage for the rest of the sentence but the first one can stand on it's own, but it feels introductory- what do we call these types of clauses. Would the use of a conjunction be wrong or optional on the first clause instead of a comma or comma with a conjunction.
