Bellringer- 11/12/13 A dependent clause, also called a SUBORDINATE CLAUSE, is a group of words that cannot stand alone. Decide whether the underlined portion of each sentence is a SUBORDINATE CLAUSE (answer YES or NO): 1. Brian was a photographer who traveled into space to take pictures. 2. When he arrived on a new planet, he looked for a nice landscape shot. 3. Unfortunately, he discovered a giant alien monster that had massive teeth and really bad breath. 4. As soon as he got back to his spaceship, he tried to take off. 5. But the monster, which was roaring loudly, wouldn’t let the ship leave. 6. After a few seconds, the beast managed to pry the hatch open. 7. Brian closed his eyes because he didn’t want to see the inside of the alien’s stomach. 8. Luckily, it turned out that the beast just wanted to borrow his camera.

Bellringer-11/13/13 Most SUBORDINATE CLAUSES look almost like independent clauses except that they start with a word that makes the clause feel like an incomplete thought. These words are called SUBORDINATING CONJUNCTIONS. In each sentence, identify (write) the subordinate clause that starts with a SUBORDINATING CONJUNCTION: 1. I don’t like Twinkies because they make me gain weight. 2. If you want to borrow my headphones, you’ll have to pay me a dollar. 3. Whenever I ride the bus, I’m always late for first hour. 4. I’m not talking to you again unless you tell me the truth.

Bellringer- 11/14/13 Other SUBORDINATE CLAUSES start with a RELATIVE PRONOUN—like “that,” “which,” or “who.” In each sentence, identify the subordinate clause that starts with a RELATIVE PRONOUN: 1. I want the car that Will Smith drove in I Am Legend. 2. My sister is dating a guy who just got out of prison. 3. The class trip, which sounds like a lot of fun, is next Friday.

Bellringer- 11/15/13 Add your own subordinate clause to the following sentences: 1. I checked out a book __________________. 2. ___________________________, I’m not coming to your birthday party! 3. My friends and I like to go to movies _______________________. 4. The English teacher ___________________ turned out to be a serial killer.
