Very good. A clause is a group of words that Sir Independent and Dependent Clauses.
contains both a subject and a predicate (or a
verb). The smaller sentences that are linked to
form a larger sentence are called c1auses. A
clause is a word-group which has the same
structure as a sentence but which is part of a
larger sentence. There are two types of clauses
and these are what again?

Correct. Can someone define what is An independent clause is a group of words

a subject and a verb and forms a complete
thought.

Independent Clauses (or main clause) are Sir Anton sings.

complete sentences and also considered as
simple sentence. They can stand alone and
express a complete thought. The most
important thing to remember is that an
independent clause can stand alone as a
complete sentence and makes sense by itself.

Examples:
-I want some cereal.
-Marie likes cats.
-Joseph is a good soccer player.

Okay class, who can give me another

example?

Very good. It has a subject and a predicate
and also, it is a simple sentence. Now, kindly
define Dependent clause?
Dependent clause or subordinate clause is a
group of words, containing a subject and a
verb, which depends on some other word or
words in the sentence for its meaning. It is
always joined to the main clause by a joining
word a relative pronoun or a subordinating
conjunction.

Dependent Clauses contain a subject and a As she left.

predicate, but they do not express a complete
thought.

Examples:
-When it is raining.
-Because you were late.
-Before you go to bed.

By the way class, the following are the

examples of relative pronouns. These are who,
whom, which, whoever, whomever, whichever,
and that. And examples of subordinating
conjunctions are because, as, and since.
Who can give another example?

Very good. Now Ill write some clauses on the Yes Sir.
board and I want you class to identify each
clause if it is a dependent or independent
clause.

reading. (IC)
2. Than his sister can. (DC)
