S UBORDINATION : D EPENDENT C LAUSES

If a clause in a sentence is not independent, it is called a subordinate clause (dependent clause). Mainly 3 roles of dependent clauses in a sentence: 1. Adverbial 2. Adjectival 3. Nominal

1. A DVERBIAL Because a weasel is wild, it should be approached with great caution. Yesterday the teacher called the students lazy when they complained about their assignments. Some of the conjunctions used for adverbial clauses: after before untilwhile sinceas so that in order that because if unless whether althougheven thoughwherewhen

A DVERBIAL E XAMPLES When will the flowers bloom?:when spring arrives

How did he answer the question?: as if he knew the subject quite well

Why didn't the poor woman have money?: because she had lost her job

2. A DJECTIVAL Modifier of a noun (relative clause-who, whom, which, that, whose). The man who lives upstairs bothers the neighbors. HE bothers THEM (S) (V) (O) headword adjectival who lives upstairs The man who lives upstairs bothers the neighbors. HEbothers THEM (S) (V) (O) Don’t forget! An adjectival clause follows the headword of the noun phrase in the sentence.

The neighbors know the man who lives upstairs They know him (S) (V) (O) headword adjectival who lives upstairs The neighbors know the man who lives upstairs They know him (S) (V) (O)

O THER A DJECTIVAL E XAMPLES Which book did Joe read? : the one that I gave him

What kind of politician has the support of the people?: the one who is trustworthy

Which season?: the one when everything blooms

Which house?: the one where I was born

M ORE EXAMPLES FOR ADJECTIVAL CLAUSES An object that weighs five pounds on earth would weigh two pounds on the planet Mercury. All the men who/whom citizens of the United States have elected as president have been native-born. Mark Twain, whose real name was Samuel Clemens, grew up in Hannibal, Missouri.

Attention! We USE COMMAS when identification of the noun is not necessary. E.g. John F. Kennedy, who was assassinated in 1963, was the first Catholic president. (a familiar info) The highest mountain in the world, Mount Everest, is located in Asia. (a fact)

If the clause answers the question ‘Which One?’, then we DO NOT USE COMMAS. E.g The man who came by yesterday is my professor. Which man? Without the relative clause, we don’t know which man.

3. N OMINAL Noun clauses Annie Dillard says that a weasel is wild. something Like a noun, a nominal clause names a person, place, thing, or idea. A nominal clause may function in a sentence as any of the following: subject subjective complement object of preposition direct object indirect object

Nominal clauses may begin with ‘that’ or interrogatives: who whom what which whoever whomever whatever when where how why

Nominal Clause as Subject in a sentence

Nominal Clause as Subject Complement in a sentence

Nominal Clause as Object of Preposition in a sentence

Nominal Clause as Direct Object in a sentence

Nominal Clause as Indirect Object in a sentence

Nominal Clause beginning with That

Nominal Clause beginning with Whether

Nominal Clause beginning with If
