Clauses! 😎

Adjective, adverb, and 

noun clauses ⛄🎄

Hi guys! I hope you are enjoying the holidays. 😊

Do you know the difference between a dependent and independent clause? 

❉ An independent clause is a sentence with a subject and verb that transmit a complete thought. It makes sense by itself.  

 ❉ On the other hand, a dependent clause does not express a complete thought. It is not a sentence and this type of clauses can not stand by itself. Besides, dependent clauses MUST be joined to another clause, in order to avoid creating a sentence fragment.

💥Adjective clauses 

They are subordinate clauses that describe a noun or pronoun.

Examples: 

- The TV show called Friends, which is my favorite TV series, is celebrating its 26th anniversary this year.

- I live in a country where there is no army.

💥Adverb clauses

They are dependent clauses that modify the verb, adjective, or adverb.

Examples:

- I think that chamomile tea is delicious, as long as it does not have too much sugar.

- After the storm passed, we went outside to survey the damage

💥Noun clauses

It is a subordinate clause used as a noun. Also, they can be used as:

❉ Subject

❉ Direct and indirect object

❉ Object of a preposition

❉ Predicate noun

Examples: 

- For when the true king arrives, prince Arturo will have to answer for his crimes. 

- whatever my mom cooked is fine for me.
