Kinds of Clauses(easy learning)

Kinds of clause 

There are two kinds of clauses, dependent clause and independent clause. These are important to learn.


*A dependent clause, also known as a subordinate clause, is a clause that cannot stand alone as a complete sentence. It provides additional information to an independent clause but cannot make a sentence on its own. A dependent clause must be joined to an independent clause to form a complete sentence.


*An independent clause, on the other hand, can stand alone as a complete sentence and expresses a complete thought. An independent clause contains a subject and a verb and can make sense on its own.


Example:

Dependent Clause: "because the sky is clear"

Independent Clause: "I decided to go for a hike."

Combined: "I decided to go for a hike because the sky is clear."

In this example, the dependent clause provides additional information to the independent clause but cannot make a sentence on its own. The two clauses are joined together to form a complete sentence. 


Understanding the difference between dependent and independent clauses is important for improving sentence structure and writing skills.
