Question

(2) Analyse the sentence and identify the clauses:
I knew that I must tell this man the truth.​

Answer 1

'I knew' is the main clause, 'that I must tell this man the truth' - Subordinate clause(noun clause).

• The clause can be a part of any sentence and sometimes it will be enough to be a sentence itself.

• There are two types of clauses that are dependant and independent clauses.

• We can also call the subordinate clause an independent clause.

• The dependant clause will always be going to need something to complete itself.

• Independent clauses can work alone and will always be enough for themselves.

"I knew " - Main Clause
