2. Review – Parts of Speech
In the paragraph below, find an example of each of the parts
of speech.
In grammar, a clause is what we call the smallest grammatical
unit that can express a complete proposition. In some languages, it
may be a pair or group of words that consists of a subject and a
predicate, although in other languages, in certain clauses, the
subject may not appear explicitly as a noun phrase, being instead
marked on the verb. The most basic kind of sentence consists of a
single clause. More complex sentences may contain multiple
clauses. Clauses may be independent or dependent. Independent
clauses are those that could stand as a sentence by
themselves, although they may be used connected with other
clauses in a longer sentence. Dependent clauses are those that
would be awkward or nonsensical if they are used alone, and they
must be used in a sentence that also contains an independent
clause.
3. Review – Clauses
Now identify the dependent clauses and classify them into
adjective, adverb or noun clauses.
