Clauses & Phrases

A phrase is a collection of words that may have nouns or verbals, but it does not have a subject doing a verb.

Some examples are:  leaving behind the dog  smashing into a fence  before the first test  after the devastation  between ignorance and intelligence  broken into thousands of pieces  because of her glittering smile

Did you notice that there is No Noun!

A clause is a collection of words that have a subject that is actively doing a verb.

Here are some examples:  since she laughs at diffident men  I despise individuals of low character  when the saints go marching in  Obediah Simpson is uglier than a rabid raccoon  because she smiled at him.

In the examples on the previous slide, we find either a noun or a pronoun that is a subject (bold-print) attached to a predicate verb (underlined) in each case: since she laughs at diffident men  I despise individuals of low character  when the saints go marching in  Obediah Simpson is uglier than a rabid raccoon  because she smiled at him

If the clause can stand by itself, and form a complete sentence with punctuation, we call the clause an independent clause. The following are independent clauses: I despise individuals of low character Obediah Simpson is uglier than a rabid raccoon

We could easily turn independent clauses into complete sentences by adding appropriate punctuation marks. We might say, "I despise individuals of low character." Or we might write, "Obediah Simpson is uglier than a rabid raccoon!"

Dependent clauses have a subject doing a verb, but they have a subordinate conjunction placed in front of the clause. That subordinate conjunction means that the clause can't stand independently by itself and become a complete sentence. Instead, the dependent clause is dependent upon another clause--it can't make a complete sentence by itself, even though it has a subject doing a verb.

Common Subordinating Conjunctions/Dependant Words after because who, whose, whom what, whatever before since until when that if while whether...or not unless as although even though as if which so that

Here are some examples of dependent clauses:  since she laughs at diffident men  when the saints go marching in  because she smiled at him

These clauses simply do not form complete thoughts or sentences by themselves.

Let’s try some! Directions: In the space before each group of words, mark P if it is a phrase, D if it is a dependent clause and I if it is an independent clause. ______1. Over my head ______2. Because I was afraid ______3. I didn’t get very much sleep ______4. That night ______5. I knew what happened

Directions: In the space before each group of words, mark P if it is a phrase, D if it is a dependent clause and I if it is an independent clause. ______6. So that I could get some rest ______7. I heard the cat’s meow ______8. Sitting by the broken plate licking the crumbs ______9. When I finally got up ______10. I got so tired

Directions: In the space before each group of words, mark P if it is a phrase, D if it is a dependent clause and I if it is an independent clause. ______11. Even though I counted sheep ______12. Ear plugs would be a good investment ______13. I never realized how losing sleep affected me ______14. The next day ______15. When I got to work

Directions: In the space before each group of words, mark P if it is a phrase, D if it is a dependent clause and I if it is an independent clause. ______16. I forgot to lock the door of my car ______17. Walking into the parking garage ______18. Did you ever get a strange feeling that someone was around you ______19. On the back of my neck ______20.

Now let’s take some notes on Simple Sentences!!! Simple Sentence: One subject-verb relationship.  We talked to the supervisor this morning. Simple sentences can contain many phrases and be very long.  Yesterday afternoon at 3:00, your dog, tired of being cooped up all day, dug his way out of your yard and into mine. Simple sentences can have more than one subject as long as they share the same verb:  My sister and your brother have been dating secretly for weeks. Simple sentences can have more than one verb as long as the verbs share the same subject:  He listened to the radio all morning and forgot to study for his test.

Now let’s take notes on Compound Sentences!!! Compound Sentence: Two or more separate INDEPENDENT CLAUSES connected with a comma AND coordinating conjunction or a semicolon.

Examples are: , for , and , nor , but , or , yet , so

More examples are: ; moreover, ; thus, ; for example, ; consequently, ; also, ; as a result, ; however, ; for instance, ; besides, ; furthermore, ; nevertheless, ; then,
