What is a clause in a sentence?

A clause is a group of words with a (s) subject and a (v) verb.

For example:

(s) Computers (v) are important.

= 1 sentence with 1 clause.

We can have two clauses though i.e. two groups of words with a subject and a verb:

Computers are important, but they are dangerous too.

= 1 sentence with 2 clauses.

How about three sentence clauses?

Computers are important, but they can be dangerous too, so we must be careful.

= 1 sentence with 3 clauses.

Now let's add a fourth!

Computers are important, but they can be dangerous too, so we must

be careful when we use them.

= 1 sentence with 4 clauses.

My Practice:

Living in a house is comfortable.

Living in a house is comfortable but it requires more maintenance than an apartment.

Living in a house is comfortable but it requires more maintenance than an apartment so we need to
work hard to look at it clean when we get free time to do so.
