English Language
In this module, we will be covering what a clauseA group of words with a subject and a verb; forms a whole sentence or part of one. is, the types of different clauses, and also what makes those different types of clauses.
A clause is a group of words that includes a subjectThe person, place, thing, or idea the clause is about; performs or experiences the verb. (a person or thing) and a verb forms a sentence or part of a sentence.
\(\text{Subject} + \text{Verb} = \text{Clause}\)
A clause must make sense on its own, it does not require any further information for it to make sense. Even though information can be added to give the clause more context, a clause will never not make sense by itself. For example: ‘The cat ran’ is a clause because it has a subject (‘cat’), a verb (‘ran’) and makes sense by itself!
