An even is dependent of the other when one has to occur before the other can do so. Else, one can also occur with the other.

E.g. Christmas (or the winter holidays if you will) has to happen/so that/you go buy Christmas presents.

Hunger usually "depends" on the lack of food in the stomach.

In math, events are dependent when one event affects the probability of the other.

E.g. There is 1 red, 1 green and 1 blue balls in a container. You pick a ball out of 3. There is a probability of 1/3 = 33% of being a certain colour. Now there are only two balls in the container. The next one you pick has a probability of 1/2=50% of being a certain colour,
