Clauses
  • Basically, a sentence is a “clause.”
  • A clause has a subject and a verb.
  • There are two basic clauses in English: independent and dependent clauses. EX:
    I’m going to the store
    [independent]
    because I need milk
    [dependent]
    .
  • The dependent clause needs the independent clause for the complete meaning.
  • There are three types of dependent clauses in English.
  • Each of them has a name that describes what each does in a sentence: adjective clauses, noun clauses, and adverb clauses.
Adjective Clauses
  • Adjective clauses work like adjectives; they give more information about nouns they are describing.
    • Who is used for persons.
    • Which is used for things.
    • That is used for both.
      • Which girl? The girl who is talking is my cousin.
      • Which book? The book that you borrowed is my sister’s.
    • Whose is used for possession:
      • My friend
        whose car was stolen
        (his car)
        went to the police.
      • I met a girl
        whose mother is a pilot
        (her mother)
        .
