Answers
1)Clauses come in four types:
2) 1•) Independent clouse
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!
Explanation:
2 ))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.'
Answer:
Firstly, in the exercise that you are probably doing, you only need to recognise the noun phrase so that you can separate it from the other two. Once you have determined the noun clause, it will become much easier to find and name the adjective clauses and the adverbial clauses.
The noun clause is easy enough to recognise. It is the subject or object of the sentence. You can often replace it with a single-word noun.
A noun clause usually starts with one of these words; who, what, why, when, where, how, that, whoever, whether and that.
