Have you ever played this game with wooden blocks?

00:00:09

My children and I like playing it sometimes.

00:00:12

It’s all about achieving balance and thinking about placement.

00:00:18

If you fit the blocks together with care, they keep building upwards.

00:00:23

But if you rush and get careless, the tower is more likely to fall.

00:00:39

This reminds me a bit of grammar and how we fit words together into sentences.

00:00:46

Do it with care and you can build effective sentences.

00:00:51

If you rush and get sloppy, however, things can fall apart and communication isn’t so successful.

00:01:07

That’s why I think it will be helpful for us to review the kinds of clauses we have in English.

00:01:13

Understanding clauses will help you build sentences. If you can build a variety of sentences,

00:01:20

then you can accomplish even larger tasks, such as writing clear email or putting together a solid essay or report.

00:01:31

If you agree that grammar is a helpful tool to master, then be sure you're subscribed to my channel so that you get all my future grammar lessons.

00:01:42

Well, let’s begin!

00:01:53

There are two basic kinds of clauses: independent and dependent clauses.

00:02:00

Both kinds have a subject and a verb. But independent clauses can stand alone and make sense. Dependent clauses can’t.

00:02:15

Can you identify which clauses are independent?

00:02:26

These are independent clauses. They can stand alone and form simple sentences.

00:02:37

The other clauses are dependent clauses. They fall into the category of fragments.

00:02:43

Each dependent clause is only part of a sentence.

00:02:49

We have to put a dependent clause together with independent clauses to form a sentence.

00:02:58

Now these are complete ideas and they make sense.

00:03:12

Independent clauses can follow different patterns, but they all have a subject and a verb

00:03:18

If you’d like to study patterns like subject-verb, subject-verb-object, and subject-verb-complement,

00:03:27

then you can click to watch my lesson on sentence patterns.

00:03:33

There are three different types of dependent clauses: noun clauses, adjective clauses, adverb clauses.

00:03:46

All three types of dependent clauses must combine with a main clause or independent clause to form a complete sentence.

00:03:57

When we put a dependent clause together with an independent clause, we get a complex sentence.

00:04:06

We can put dependent and independent clauses together in various combinations to get:

00:04:13

compound sentences,

00:04:17

complex sentences,

00:04:21

and even complex-compound sentences.

00:04:29

It helps to be familiar with these combinations because then you can achieve variety in your writing.

00:04:38

If you’d like to review simple, compound, complex, and complex-compound sentences, check out the video description.

00:04:47

I'm going to include some useful links. There will be a link to my website, and there's a page with useful videos to improve your writing.

00:04:58

Let’s talk about noun clauses first.

00:05:01

One kind of noun clause is an embedded question or wh- clause.

00:05:09

These noun clauses start with a question word and, of course, they have a subject and verb.

00:05:16

As a whole unit, a noun clause functions like a noun.

00:05:21

That means that an embedded question can be a subject,

00:05:28

an object of a verb,

00:05:35

an object of a preposition,

00:05:39

and even a complement.

00:05:47

If you need to review embedded questions, then click on the link. I’ll also put links to related lessons in the video description.

00:05:57

Another type of noun clause is a "that" clause.

00:06:02

We commonly use "that" clauses as objects of verbs, and when we do, we often omit the word “that.”

00:06:12

Check out these examples.

00:06:34

We see that clauses after reporting verbs.

00:06:40

We also see "that" clauses subject and adjective complements.

00:06:48

Here are more examples.

00:07:12

Okay. Onward to adjective clauses.

00:07:15

Hopefully, you’ve seen my series on this topic, so you know how to form adjective clauses and where to place them.

00:07:25

Just like noun clauses function like nouns, well, adjective clauses basically function like adjectives.

00:07:34

They describe or modify nouns or pronouns.

00:07:40

The big difference is position.

00:07:44

Single-word adjectives can appear before a noun or after a linking verb.

00:07:56

But an adjective clause has to follow the head noun as closely as possible.

00:08:10

Recall that there are two types of adjective clauses. Identifying and non-identifying.

00:08:19

Identifying clauses, also known as restrictive clauses, are necessary.

00:08:26

We need them to identify the head noun. We use no commas with these identifying or restrictive clauses.

00:08:36

Non-identifying clauses (or non-restrictive clauses) give additional information that could be left out,

00:08:45

and we set them off with commas when we write them or we drop our pitch when we say them.

00:08:55

Note that adjective clauses are also called relative clauses. And we use use relative pronouns and relative adverbs to build them.

00:09:08

I know I’m using a lot of terminology right now, but I think you can follow along, especially with the help of all the examples, right?

00:09:18

Okay. Let’s move on to the final type of dependent clause.

00:09:25

Adverb clauses, or as some say, adverbial clauses, allow us to add information about things like time and reason.

00:09:36

Adverb clauses answer questions just like adverbs: How? How much? Why? When? Where?

00:09:47

Remember, all this additional information doesn’t make sense alone. An adverb clause is a fragment until it combines with a main clause.

00:09:59

Another term you may hear when people talk about a dependent clause is a subordinate clause.

00:10:05

It's the same thing.

00:10:08

The prefix “sub” means below or or under.

00:10:11

A subordinate clause must hook up with a main clause (an independent clause) to make sense.

00:10:18

Adverb clauses are examples of subordinate clauses.

00:10:23

They have subordinating conjunctions. Those are connecting words like after, before, because, if.

00:10:35

Here are different types of adverb clauses.

00:10:39

This is not meant to be a complete list of all subordinating conjunctions, but I'll show you a good variety.

00:11:51

Here are more subordinating conjunctions to form adverb clauses.

00:11:55

Remember this is not a complete list.

00:12:15

Adverb clauses have some flexibility within a sentence.

00:12:19

They can come before or after the main clause.

00:12:25

If the adverb clause is first, we use a comma to separate the two clauses.

00:12:33

If the adverb clause is second, we usually write the sentence without a comma between the two clauses.

00:12:43

Something adverb and adjective clauses have in common is that they both can be reduced to phrases.

00:12:54

If you’d like some practice reducing adverb clauses, click on the link to my other lesson. I’ll also put the link in the video description.

00:13:05

Okay. Let’s see how well you followed. Take a short quiz to review.

00:14:28

Note how there's a pause, and I drop my pitch slightly when I say that nonrestrictive clause.

00:15:01

So how did you do? I hope you found it helpful to study grammar with me.
