$\fbox\mathtt \color{green} Required\: Answer:-$

➢ A clause is comprised of a group of words which includes a subject and a finite verb. A clause contains only one subject and one verb. The subject of a clause can be mentioned or hidden, but the verb must be apparent and distinguishable.

➢Example:

• I graduated last year. (One clause sentence).
• When I came here, I saw him. (Two clause sentence).
• When I came here, I saw him, and he greeted me. (Three clause sentence).

➢Types of Clause:-

•Clauses are mainly of two types:

1. Independent Clause
2. Dependent Clause

➢Independent Clause:-

An independent clause functions on its own to make a meaningful sentence and looks much like a regular sentence

•Example:-

• He is a wise man.
• I like him.
• Can you do it?
• Do it please. (Subject you is hidden)
• I read the whole story.
• I want to buy a phone, but I don’t have enough money. (Two independent clauses)

➢Dependent Clause:-

A dependent clause cannot function on its own because it leaves an idea or thought unfinished. It is also called subordinate clause. Dependent clauses help the independent clauses complete the sentence. A dependent clause alone cannot form a complete sentence.

•Example:-

• When I was dating Daina, I had an accident.
• I know the man who stole the watch.
• He bought a car which was too expensive.
• I know that he cannot do it.
• He does not know where he was born.
