Explanation:

Types of Clauses

There are two types of clauses

1. Independent Clause (Main/Principal Clause)

Independent clause is the main/principal clause in a sentence. It can stand alone and can be called a sentence. It does not start with subordinate words such as when, which or if.

The main properties of an independent clause are

It contains a subject.

It contains an action.

It expresses a complete thought, e.g.

Let’s start the play.

(Here ‘play’ is the subject and ‘Let’s start’ is the action.)

The mobile is defective.

(Here ‘mobile’ is the subject and ‘is defective’ is the action.)

I will tell her about the paper pattern.

(Here T is the subject and ‘will tell her about the paper pattern’ is the action.)

2. Dependent Clause (Subordinate Clause)

A dependent clause is a subordinate clause, it starts with subordinate words. It cannot stand alone as a sentence and is labelled according to its function in the sentence.

Dependent clauses are further divided into three kinds

(i) Noun Clause

Noun Clauses function as nouns in relation to the main clause, e.g.

I believe that he knows the secret.

Listen to what the teacher says.

I do not know why he is angry.

What you said is true.

(ii) Relative Clause

Relative clauses are dependent clauses introduced by a relative pronoun (that, which, whichever, who, whoever, whom, whomever, whose and of which). Relative clauses add extra information to a sentence by defining a noun. Relative clauses are also called adjective clauses. The introductory words used for various categories of nouns are

For people – who, whose or what

For things – which or that

For places – where

For times – when

For possession – whose

e.g.

Rohan visited the office where his mother works.

(where his mother works is a relative clause. It contains the relative adverb where, the subject mother, and the verb works. The clause modifies the noun office.)

We’re going to see a band whose lead singer is a friend of ours.

(whose lead singer is a friend of ours is a relative clause. It contains the relative pronoun whose, the subject singer, and the verb is. The clause modifies the noun band.)

The university where my brother goes to school is in Canada.

(where my brother goes to school is a relative clause. It contains the relative adverb where, the subject brother, and the verb goes. The clause modifies the noun university.)
