Adjective clauses Function & Identity

What is a clause? A clause is a group of words with two distinguishing characteristics: the group functions as one unit; the group has its own subject-verb combination.

What is an independent clause? An independent clause (IND) is a group of words with three distinguishing characteristics: the group functions as one unit; the group has its own subject-verb combination; the group usually can function on its own as a grammatically complete sentence.

What is a dependent clause? A dependent clause (DEP) is a group of words with four distinguishing characteristics: the group functions as one unit; the group has its own subject-verb combination; the group has a subordinator; the group cannot function on its own as a grammatically complete sentence.

Clause combination Every sentence has a clause combination. Every clause combination has three components: The number of independent clauses (IND) A plus sign (“+”) The number of dependent clauses Clause combination = IND + DEP Clause combination reveals sentence type.

Kinds of dependent clauses There are three kinds of dependent clauses in English. adjective clauses (ADJ) adverbial clauses (ADV) noun clauses (Noun) How might one determine identity of a dependent clause?

Dependent clause identity Every dependent clause has a function. Meaning reveals dependent clause function. First comprehend and then analyze. Dependent clause function reveals dependent clause identity.
