 Definition of Sentences
with Multiple Claus

A clause is a group of words that contains a subject and a

verb. A subject is the person, thing, or idea that performs
or is affected by the action of the verb. A verb is the word
that shows the action or state of being of the subject.
example: in the sentence “She loves chocolate”, “she” is
the subject and “loves” is the verb.
There are different types
of dependent clauses
Noun clauses: These clauses act as nouns in the
sentence, meaning that they can be the subject, object,
or complement of a verb or a preposition.
example: “i couldn’t care less what happens to him”,
“what happens to him” is a noun clause that acts as the
object of the verb “i couldn’t care less”

Adjective clauses: These clauses modify or describe a

noun or a pronoun in the sentence
example: “The book that you gave me is very interesting”,
“that you gave me” is an adjective clause that modifies
the noun “book”
Adverb clauses: These
clauses modify or describe
a verb, an adjective, or
another adverb in the
sentence.
example: “She went to bed
early because she was
tired”, “because she was
tired” is an adverb clause
that indicates the reason for
the action of the main
clause.

more independent clauses in a sentence
example: - She does not like chocolate nor vanilla.
- He studied hard for he wanted to pass the exam.

Using Subordinating Conjunctions

dependent clause to an independent clause in a sentence
example: - After she finished her homework, she watched TV.
- Because he was hungry, he ate a sandwich.
 Using Relative Pronouns
Relative pronouns are words that introduce a
dependent clause that modifies or describes a
noun or a pronoun in the sentence.
example: - The teacher who taught me English
was very kind (essential clause, no comma)
- My friend, whom I met at college, is very
smart. (nonessential clause, comma)
 Using Semicolons
Semicolons are punctuation marks that connect two or more
independent clauses in a sentence.
> To connect two independent clauses that are closely related in
meaning or theme.
example: - He studied hard; he passed the exam.
- She was tired; she went to bed early

> To connect two independent clauses that are joined by a

conjunctive adverb (such as however, therefore, moreover, etc.)
or a transitional phrase (such as for example, in addition, on the
other hand, etc.). In this case, a comma should follow the
conjunctive adverb or transitional phrase.
example: - He studied hard; therefore, he passed the exam.
- She was tired; for example, she yawned a lot

- She was tired for one reason: she worked too hard.

>To emphasize or draw attention to the clause after the colon.

example: - There is only one thing you need to do: study hard.
- She has a secret: she is a spy.
