Dependent Clauses

The video tutorial explains the different types of dependent clauses: noun clauses, relative clauses, and adverbial clauses. Noun clauses act as subjects in sentences, replacing singular nouns with phrases. Relative clauses, also known as adjective clauses, describe nouns similarly to adjectives. Adverbial clauses modify verbs by providing context such as time, condition, or purpose. The tutorial provides examples for each type, illustrating their roles in sentence structure and encouraging viewers to incorporate them into their writing.
