Now he goes to court and claims that from that day to this he cannot keep a pig alive for more than four weeks because my Martha bewitch them with her books!”

Dialect and dialogue however still have syntax.
Bear in mind that passages of dialogue that seem to have each statement as a separate sentence would be one paragraph and less setnences if written as reported speech.
Try changing the dialouge into an indirect reported narrative and you will see the subordinate clauses?
Where does each statement start?
Dont confuse phrases with clauses?
So isnt followed by that so is not a conjunction.
Look for words like that, this, because, so, and if and now, pronouns and adverbs that often start clauses!
Look for linking words.
Excuse me giving the method rather than the answer but I see too many posters giving people the answers for points and I think its more important to show you the method!
Hope the hints help now and in the future!
