Answer 1

A clause is a group of related words containing a subject that tells readers what the sentence is about, and a verb that tells readers what the subject is doing. A clause comes in four types; independent, dependent, relative or noun clause.


independent clause , also called a main clause, is a clause that can stand on its own. It contains all the information necessary to be a complete sentence. An independent clause has a subject that tells you what the sentence is about and a verb that tells you what the subject is doing. It expresses a complete thought, relaying that something has happened or was said.

For example, in the sentence, 'My dog loves pizza crusts,' the subject is dog, the verb is loves and your reader now knows that 'your dog loves pizza crusts,' making it a complete thought.



A dependent clause, also called a subordinate clause, is a clause that cannot stand on its own because it does not contain all the information necessary to be a complete sentence. A clause is dependent because of the presence of words such asbefore, after, because, since, in order to, although, and though.

For example, if you begin the sentence 'My dog loves pizza crusts' with Because, you still have the subject, dog, and the verb, loves,but it is now an incomplete thought, 'Because my dog loves pizza crusts.'To complete the thought, you must attach the dependent, or subordinate, clause to an independent, or main, clause. For example 'Because my dog loves pizza crusts, he never barks at the deliveryman.' The thought is now complete, and your reader knows that 'because he loves pizza crusts, your dog never barks at the delivery man.'

A relative clause is a clause that begins with a relative pronoun such as who, whom, whose, which, or that, or a relative adverb such as when, where, or why. It is a type of dependent clause.

For example, in the clause 'Who loves pizza crusts,' the relative pronoun is who. In the clause 'Where he chews and drools with great enthusiasm,' the relative adverb is where.

Like dependent, or subordinate, clauses, relative clauses cannot stand alone as complete sentences. You must connect them to main clauses to finish the thought.

For example: 'My dog Floyd, who loves pizza crusts, eats them under the kitchen table, where he chews and drools with great enthusiasm.' The thought is now complete, and your reader knows that 'your dog, who loves pizza crusts, eats them under the kitchen table,' and that he 'chews and drools with great enthusiasm' while doing so.
