 USING CLAUSES IN SENTENCES

Clause is a group of words with a subject and a predicate that conveys complete or
incomplete thought. It is used to combine ideas to form compound and complex
sentences.
2 types of Clauses
1) Independent/main clause- conveys a complete thought or meaning, and it can
stand alone. It is called a simple sentence.
2) Subordinate/dependent clause- does not express a complete thought, and it
cannot stand alone as a sentence.
Subordinate clauses can be classified and used as noun clause, adjective
clause, and adverb clause.
Noun clause is a dependent clause used like a noun in a statement. It can be
a subject, direct object, indirect object, object of preposition, and predicate
nominative.
The following are the common words that introduce a noun clause:
what, whatever, when, where, whether, whomever, whose, why, which, who,
whoever, whom, how, if, that
Subject
-A person, animal, place, thing, or concept that does an action. Determine the subject in a sentence by asking
the question “Who or what?”
Direct Object
-a noun phrase denoting a person thing that is the recipient of the action.
Indirect object
-shows the recipient of the direct object. It basically tells us to whom/what or for whom/what something is
done.
Object of Preposition
-the noun or pronoun that follows the preposition in a sentence.
Predicative nominative
-is also called a predicate noun because it is always a noun. To find the predicative find the word after the
linking verb that can replace the subject.
Adjective Clause functions as an adjective to modify a noun or a pronoun. It
answers the queries What kind? Or Which one?
-who, whom, which, and that usually introduce an adjective clause.
Adverb Clause is a kind of dependent clause as an adverb to modify a verb,
an adjective, or another adverb. Questions like When? How? Where? How
much? To what extent? Are answered by this kind of subordinate clause.
-adverb clauses usually start with subordinating conjunctions.
