Identifying adjective, adverb, and noun clauses in a sentence.

PHRASE VS. CLAUSE A clause is a group of related words containing a subject and a verb. It is different from a phrase in that a phrase does not include a subject and a verb relationship.

Independent clauses A clause that can stand by itself and still make sense. It can be its OWN sentence, or be part of a larger one: Jerry wants to be the quarterback this week. (simple sentence) Jerry wants to be the quarterback this week, but Jimmy thinks he will be. (compound sentence)

Independent clauses By a comma and little conjunction (and, but, or, nor, for, yet, and sometimes so). By a semicolon, by itself. By a semicolon accompanied by a conjunctive adverb (such as however, moreover, nevertheless, as a result, consequently, etc.). And, of course, independent clauses are often not connected by punctuation at all but are separated by a period.

Subordinate clauses 從屬子句 A clause that cannot stand by itself. It depends on something else, an independent clause, for its meaning. A subordinate clause trying to stand by itself would be a sentence fragment. Subordinate clauses are sometimes called dependent clauses.

Subordinate clauses Examples: While the kangaroo crossed the road, the tourists stayed inside their cars. The man who is coaching that team is my father. What the team needs now is a championship! Subordinate clauses can act as adjectives, adverbs or nouns.

Using Commas with clauses TWO TYPES ~~~ Essential vs. Nonessential Essential = necessary, no commas Nonessential = extra info, use commas Every player who hits a home run receives a trophy. (Essential, no commas) The players, who vary in age from eight to twelve, wear blue uniforms. (Nonessential, set apart by commas)

Adjective Clause Subordinate clause Modifies a noun or pronoun Begins with a relative pronoun

Relative Pronouns Who/whoever Whom/whomever whose which What/whatever that where and when (sometimes)

Adjective Clause examples Men who are in the cooking contest should know how to make chili. Biology is the course that my uncle teaches. Watch Out ~~ for the understood “that”! Biology is the course my uncle teaches.

Adverb Clauses Subordinate clause Modifies a verb, adverb or adjective Tells: how, when, where, why, to what extent and under what condition. Introduced by a subordinating conjunction

Subordinating Conjunctions after as though since when although because so that whenever as before than where as if even though though wherever as long as if unless whether as soon as in order that until while ** There is also a list in your packet.

Adverb Clause examples Because it was raining, we came inside. (Intro. Adverb Clause - IAC) We went to the football game after we ate dinner. (Regular Order Adverb Clause-ROAC)

Noun Clauses A noun clause is a subordinate clause that functions as a noun. It can do anything a noun can do: Subject, Predicate Nominative, Direct Object, Indirect Object, Object of the Preposition.

Noun Clauses Words that introduce noun clauses are: Examples: How, if, that, what, whatever, when, where, whether, which, who, whoever, whom, whomever, whose, why Examples: The big question is whether he’ll finish the marathon. Everyone knows that Tim runs at least a mile every day.

Don’t forget the position rules! She got a stomachache, so she chose to go home having a day off. She thought that the murderer must be her neighbors next door. If the clause begins the sentence= Adverb (有逗點) or Noun (沒有逗點) If the clause follows a noun= usually Adjective If the clause follows the verb= Adverb or Noun
