Dependent, independent clauses - word order

When a dependent clause precedes an independent clause, the conjugated verbs are the last component of the first clause and the first component of the second clause. Thus the two verbs always appear on either side of the comma which separates the clauses.

Wenn ich ihn sehe, grüsse ich ihn von Ihnen.
Dass sie das gesagt hat, überrascht mich.
When I see him, I'll give him your greetings.
That she said that, surprises me.
