Presentation transcript:

A clause is a group of words that has a subject and a predicate (verb). A clause can function as a sentence by itself or as a part of a sentence.

Main Clause A main clause: Has a subject and predicate; Expresses a complete thought; Is the only type of clause that can stand alone as a sentence; Is also known as an “independent clause.”

Main Clause (continued) Every sentence must have at least one main clause. Examples The curtain rose. The cast bowed, and the audience clapped. Both the subject and the predicate of a main clause may be compound. The actors and crew smiled and bowed, and the audience cheered and clapped.

Subordinate Clause A subordinate clause: Is also called a “dependent clause”; Has a subject and a predicate but does not express a complete thought, so it cannot stand alone as a sentence.

Subordinate Clause (continued) There are 3 types of subordinate clauses: Adjective clauses- modify ___________ or ____________. Adverb clauses- modify ________, ____________, or _________________. Noun clauses- function as nouns. A subordinating conjunction or relative pronoun usually introduces a subordinate clause. Example When the dog barked, a baby cried.
