CLAUSE AND ITS USES

 ALL OUR WRITING IS MADE UP OF CLAUSES
SOME TIMES A CLAUSE IS MADE UP OF SHORT SENTENCE

 independent clause made up of a subject, “Juan,” and a verb, “walked.” This
sentence is complete because we know the subject and the action; additionally, this verb does not
need an object to complete it.


Dependent Clauses
Dependent clauses are different from independent clauses because they rely on an independent
clause to express a complete thought. Dependent clauses cannot stand on their own

Nominal clauses can be used in place of a noun. We use these clauses to add more information to
a sentence. We can identify nominal clauses in our sentences by looking for the words “that,”
“who,” “what,” “when,” “where,” “why,” “how,” and “which.”
Nominal clauses often take the place of the object in the sentence, which means that they receive
the action of the verb. We can check if clauses are nominal by replacing the clause with “it” to
see if it makes sense.

OTHER TYPES OF CLAUSES ARE SUBORDINATE CLAUSE
THE SUBORDINATION MEANS ALWAYS THERE WOULD BE A CONJUNCTION USED IN BETWEEN THE SENTENCE SUCH AS IF ALTHOUGH THOUGH
FOLLOWED BY SUBORDINATE CLAUSE....
