  1. Everything you wanted to know about Clauses But were too terrified to ask. (And rightfully so) 11 Slides

  2. 2 Types of Clauses • independent • subordinate (noun, adjective, adverb)

  3. Independent Clause • Expresses a complete thought and can stand by itself. • Ms. Goler was trying to decide if she should do a power point presentation.

  4. Subordinate Clause Does not express a complete thought. Cannot stand by itself. • Ms. Goler was trying to decide if she should do a power point presentation.

  5. Uses of Subordinate Clauses • They function just like adjectives, adverbs, and nouns. They are named according to the job they do in the sentence. • (Ya’ll are half-way there –Kaz)

  6. Adjective clause • An adjective clause is a subordinate clause used as an adjective to modify a noun or pronoun. The novel that I am reading right now is about a woman who has an adulterous affair. Adj. clause are usually introduced by pronouns who, whom, whose , which and that (relative pronouns).

  7. Adverb Clause • An adverb clause is a subordinate clause that modifies a verb, adjective or an adverb. Dorsa sounds as if she has caught a cold. [tells how Dorsa sounds.] Before he left, Albert turned off the lights. [before he left tells when lights were turned off]

  8. Adverb Clauses are often introduced by subordinating conjunctions Some are: after, before, unless, although, if, until, since, wherever (see page 102).

  9. The Noun Clause • A noun clause is a subordinate clause used as a noun.
