What is a clause?
A clause is a group of words that consists of a subject and a predicate. There are two major types of clauses:
- Independent clauses
- Dependent clauses
Independent clauses
An indpendent clause, also called a main clause, is like a sentence. It consits of a subject and a predicate and can stand alone like a sentence.
Examples:
- She died last week
- He likes her.
Dependent clauses
A dependent clause, also called subordinate clause, has a subject and a verb but, unlike a dependent clause, it cannot stand alone as a sentence.
- because I am in love.
- that you lent me.
- who is over there.
