What Is A Clause?
Stop for a minute and think about all the ways that you may communicate throughout the day. You probably have several conversations, send texts and emails, read articles and even leave written messages through work or school. How much of your communication relies on writing? Probably much more than you originally thought.
Writing is one of the strongest ways that we communicate with each other. When we write, we develop sentences, which then develop paragraphs and eventually develop essays and longer writings. However, before we can really write a sentence, we work in clauses.
What is a clause? A clause is a group of related words. There are several different types of clauses that can be used to develop sentences. Let's take a look at some of these types and discuss how they are important in our writing.
Independent and Dependent Clauses
An independent clause is a clause that can stand alone. You can think of this as a simple sentence. There is a subject, verb, and complete thought. For example, if I were to write: 'John passed the ball,' I would have a complete, simple sentence. I have a subject, John; a verb, passed; and a complete thought, the ball. Although independent clauses can stand alone, we often join them with other clauses to make more complex sentences. Complex sentences allow us to use various types of sentences in our writing, which is important. We do not want to bore our audience by having the same type of simple sentence structure throughout!
A dependent clause is a clause that cannot stand alone; it depends on another clause to make it a complete sentence. You can recognize a dependent clause because it starts with a subordinate conjunction. A subordinate conjunction is a word that joins ideas together and shows the relationship between ideas. Some of the subordinate conjunctions that you may already know are 'because,' 'although,' 'where,' and 'after.' Subordinate conjunctions may represent time, cause and effect, and contrast.
It is important to remember that a dependent clause is not a complete thought. For example, if I were to write, 'Because it was not his turn,' this would not be a complete thought. Your audience does not know what happened because it was not his turn. To make a dependent clause a complete thought, you should combine it with an independent one: 'Because it was not his turn, John passed the ball.'
Relative Clause
There are three main types of dependent clauses: relative, noun, and adverbial.
A relative clause is an adjective clause that describes the noun. It is important to remember that a relative clause is not a complete thought! They are used in sentences to further describe the noun.
You can identify a relative clause by looking for three main components:
It will contain a subject and a verb.

In language, a clause is the smallest grammatical unit that can express a complete proposition. A typical clause consists of a subject and a predicate, the latter typically a verb phrase, a verb with any objects and other modifiers.
Clauses come in four types: main [or independent], subordinate [or dependent], relative [or adjective], and noun. Every clause has at least a subject and a verb. ... The important point to remember about subordinate clauses is that they can never stand alone as complete sentences.
