Question

I awoke next morning to find out that Anil had already made the tea.(identify the clause)

Answer 1

Clause :

I awoke next morning to find out that(subordinate clause).

Anil had ready made the tea. (main clause)

Answer 2

The answer is given below:

• I awoke the next morning to find out that- the dependent clause
• Anil had already made the tea- main clause/ independent clause
• A clause is a group of words that have a subject and a verb.
• It is the smallest grammatical unit that can deliver a complete meaning.
• There are two types of clauses: independent and dependent clauses.
• The Independent clause expresses a complete meaning on its own( Joe plays football) while the dependent clause acts as an adverb, adjective or a noun( Joe plays football only when he's bored. Joe plays football- main clause; only when he's bored- dependent clause)
• In the given statement, Anil had already made tea is the main clause since it can independently convey a complete meaning while the former part of the sentence depends on the latter to convey meaning.
