What type of clause is if you ask her?

The clause "if you ask her" is a dependent clause, specifically a conditional clause.

Here's why:

* Dependent clause: It cannot stand alone as a complete sentence. It needs an independent clause to make sense. For example: "She'll tell you, if you ask her."

* Conditional clause: It expresses a condition, using the conjunction "if". It tells us what will happen *if* a certain condition is met.

Let me know if you have any other clauses you'd like to identify!
