Clauses : 

Clauses Identifying adjective and adverb clauses in a sentence.

PHRASE VS. CLAUSE : 

PHRASE VS. CLAUSE A clause is a group of related words containing a subject and a verb. It is different from a phrase in that a phrase does not include a subject and a verb relationship.

Independent clauses : 

Independent clauses A clause that can stand by itself and still make sense. It can be its OWN sentence, or be part of a larger one: Jerry wants to be the quarterback this week. (simple sentence) Jerry wants to be the quarterback this week, but Jimmy thinks he will be. (compound sentence)

Independent clauses : 

Independent clauses By a comma and little conjunction (and, but, or, nor, for, yet, and sometimes so). By a semicolon, by itself. By a semicolon accompanied by a conjunctive adverb (such as however, moreover, nevertheless, as a result, consequently, etc.). And, of course, independent clauses are often not connected by punctuation at all but are separated by a period.

Dependent Clauses : 

Dependent Clauses A clause that cannot stand by itself. It depends on something else, an independent clause, for its meaning. A subordinate clause trying to stand by itself would be a sentence fragment. Subordinate clauses are sometimes called dependent clauses.

Dependent Clauses : 

Dependent Clauses Examples: While the kangaroo crossed the road, the tourists stayed inside their cars. The man who is coaching that team is my father. What the team needs now is a championship! Subordinate clauses can act as adjectives, adverbs or nouns.

Using Commas with clauses : 

Using Commas with clauses TWO TYPES ~~~ Essential vs. Nonessential Essential = necessary, no commas Nonessential = extra info, use commas Every player who hits a home run receives a trophy. (Essential, no commas) Jerry Seinfeld, who has a TV show, is a comedian. (Nonessential, set apart by commas)

Adjective Clause :

Relative Pronouns : 

Relative Pronouns Who/whoever Whom/whomever whose which What/whatever that where and when (sometimes)

Adjective Clause examples :

Adverb Clauses : 

Adverb Clauses Subordinate clause Modifies a verb, adverb or adjective Tells: how, when, where, why, to what extent and under what condition. Introduced by a subordinating conjunction
