Dependent Clauses and Complex Sentences Theme: “The Unusual Animal Kingdom”

Dependent Clauses

Dependent Clauses (DC) A group of words that contains a subject and a predicate, but CAN’T stand alone as a sentence. Although her diapers were stacked nicely Because I am hungry After I went poo poo

Dependent Clauses: Subordinate Conjunctions, AKA The Diaper Meaning Words give reasons because, since, so that (not just so; so is CC) contrast ideas although, even though, despite, while time before, after, until, while, as, when, whenever, since show conditions if, unless, whether show result or effect so that relative pronouns who, whose, whom, which, that, where, when, what, why (clauses that begin with a relative pronoun provide specific information about the main clause) Your dependent clause (DC) MUST begin with one of these subordinate conjunctions. If you don’t have these, then you don’t have a DC.

Dependent Clauses Why use a baby and diaper to discuss the dependent clause? A baby is dependent on an adult, and a baby and diaper go together. A dependent clause is dependent on the independent clause, and a dependent clause and subordinate conjunction go together. An adult (independent clause) and a diaper just don’t go together

Dependent Clause Examples Because it eats thick plant leaves Until you see something as unique as this When I go to South America So that you don’t get freaked out Brazilian treehopper

Guided Practice: Blob Fish from Australia/Tasmania Write 2 dependent clauses that include a subordinating conjunction from different groups of meaning. 1. give reasons: because, since, so that 2. contrast ideas: although, even though, despite, while 3. time: before, after, until, while, as, when, whenever, since 4. show conditions: if, unless, whether 5. show result or effect: so that 6. relative pronouns: who, whose, whom, which, that

Guided Practice: Axolotl (Mexican Mole Salamander) Write a dependent clause that includes a subordinating conjunction from different groups of meaning. 1. give reasons: because, since, so that 2. contrast ideas: although, even though, despite, while 3. time: before, after, until, while, as, when, whenever, since 4. show conditions: if, unless, whether 5. show result or effect: so that 6. relative pronouns: who, whose, whom, which, that
