Directions: Read each sentence below.
Before each number, write C if the
underlined cause is a cause and E if it is an
effect. Use a separate paper as your answer
sheet.
 LET’S TRY
THIS
Directions: Read the
selection below and take
1. What causes a
tsunami according to
the paragraph?
2. Why does the
Earth’s ground
shake?
3. What is produced when
water on the surface of
the earth is displaced?
4. When is a
tsunami alert
declared?
5. Why do people have to
evacuate to higher
grounds during a
tsunami?
What is cause and effect
relationship?
 cause
is the reason why
something happens,
 effect
is the result of something that
happened.
Dependent Clauses and
Independent Clauses
Have you noticed how the word structure of
all the causes were written? If you erase all
the connected effects, will they stand on their
own as a sentence? Let us look at these
groups of words when the effects are
removed:
1. Because tectonic plates rub together
2. When the water on the surface of the
earth is displaced
3. When a strong quake occurs under the
sea
4. So that they may be saved from its
deadly effect
These groups of words cannot be considered
as sentences since they
don’t have a complete meaning and they
cannot stand on their own. They
need the omitted parts to become complete
sentences. These group of words are called
dependent clauses.
1. The Earth’s ground shakes.
2. A wave is created.
3. A tsunami alert is declared.
4. People have to evacuate to
higher grounds during a tsunami.
these groups of words have a complete meaning?
Can they stand as a sentence on their own even
without the causes added to them? If your answer
is “Yes,” then you are right. These groups of words
that have a complete meaning are called
independent clauses.
 When a dependent clause and an
independent clause are combined,
they form a complex sentence.
