Explanation:

A clause is a combination of words that makes up a sentence. It consists of a subject and a predicate. It can also be said that a clause should have a subject and a verb. Now, take a look at the definitions of clauses given by different dictionaries to understand what a clause is.

According to the Oxford Learner’s Dictionary, a clause is defined as “a group of words that includes a subject and a verb, and forms a sentence or part of a sentence.” The Cambridge Dictionary defines a clause as “a group of words, consisting of a subject and a finite form of a verb.” “A clause is a group of words containing a verb”, according to the Collins Dictionary. According to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, a clause is defined as “a group of words containing a subject and predicate and functioning as a member of a complex or compound sentence.”

Types of Clauses

According to how a clause behaves in a sentence, they can be classified into two types. They are:

Main Clause or Independent Clause – A main clause is a group of words with a subject and a verb. It is one that can stand alone and makes complete sense. That is why it is called an independent clause.

Subordinate Clause or Dependent Clause – A subordinate clause is a group of words that consists of a subject, a verb and a subordinating conjunction or a relative pronoun. Unlike main clauses, subordinate clauses cannot stand alone or convey complete meaning when taken separately from the sentence it is a part of. Dependent clauses can be divided into types based on their function. The types of dependent clauses are noun clauses, adjective clauses, adverb clauses, conditional clauses, relative clauses, comparative clauses, verbless clauses and complementary clauses.
