Types Of Clauses

Presentation

What Are Clauses?

• A Clause is a part of a sentence, or a group of words, which has a subject and a verb. In some cases, a Clause can form a complete sentence. A Clause is different from a phrase, because a phrase does not have a subject and a verb.

Main or Independent Clauses:

• This is a clause that makes sense as a separate sentence. It does not depend on another clause. The following are some examples:

• I  Love Chocolate.

• John Ran Quickly.

• She Hates Snow.

• He Eats Pasta Everyday.

Subordinate or Dependent Clauses:

• A Subordinate Clause Does Not Make Sense On Its Own. It Depends On The Main Clause To Form A Sentence. In Other Words, It Does Not Express Complete Thought.

• A Subordinate Clause Begins With A Connective Like "while," "until," "because," "although", Or A Relative Pronoun. The Following Are Some Examples:

• While Bob Was Sleeping.

• Until He Would Finished.

• Because He was Late.

• While He Was Cleaning.

• Because I Like Juice.

• A Subordinate Clause Can Function Either As A Noun, An Adjective, Or An Adverb.

Section 1: Noun Clauses

• Whatever You Are Making Will Be Tasty.

• Does She Know Where You Are Living?

• Wherever We Are Going Will Be Fine.

Section 2: Adjective Clauses

• The Food That I Like Is The Pizza.

• The Cake That Lily Made Was Lovely.

• The Person Whom I like Is My Uncle.

Section 3: Adverb Clauses

• Before I Go To School I Check My Homework.

• When We Met To The Museum, We Saw A Aeroplane,

• We Will Wait Until Molly Finishes Her Breakfast.
