It is also called a subordinate clause.&nbsp;These help the independent clauses complete the sentence. Alone, it cannot form a complete sentence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The&nbsp;<strong><em>subordinators<\/em><\/strong>&nbsp;do the work of connecting the dependent clause to another clause to complete the sentence. In each of the dependent clauses, the first word is a subordinator. Subordinators include relative pronouns, subordinating conjunctions, and noun clause markers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>When I was dating&nbsp;Daina, I had an accident.<\/li><li>I know the man&nbsp;who stole the watch.<\/li><li>He bought a car&nbsp;which was too expensive.<\/li><li>I know&nbsp;that he cannot do it.<\/li><li>He does not know&nbsp;where he was born.<\/li><li>If you don\u2019t eat, I won\u2019t go.<\/li><li>He is a very talented player&nbsp;though he is out of form.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Dependent Clauses are divided into three types and they are \u2013<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Adjective Clause<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It is a Dependent Clause that modifies a\u00a0Noun. Basically, Adjective Clauses have similar qualities as\u00a0Adjectives\u00a0that are of modifying Nouns and hence the name, Adjective Clause. These are also called Relative Clauses and they usually sit right after the Nouns they modify.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Examples:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>I\u2019m looking for the red book&nbsp;<strong>that went missing last week<\/strong>.<\/li><li>Finn is asking for the shoes&nbsp;<strong>which used to belong to his dad.<\/strong><\/li><li>You there,<strong>&nbsp;who is sitting quietly at the corner,&nbsp;<\/strong>come here and lead the class out.<strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Noun Clause<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Dependent Clauses acting as Nouns in sentences are called Noun Clauses or Nominal Clauses. These often start with \u201chow,\u201d \u201cthat,\u201d other WH-words (What, Who, Where, When, Why, Which, Whose and Whom), if, whether etc.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Examples:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>I like&nbsp;<strong>what I hear<\/strong>.<\/li><li>You need to express&nbsp;<strong>that it\u2019s crossing a line for you<\/strong>.<\/li><li>He knows&nbsp;<strong>how things work around here<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Adverbial Clause<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>By definition, these are Dependent Clauses acting as\u00a0Adverbs. It means that these clauses have the power to modify Verbs, Adjectives and other Adverbs.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Examples:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Alice did the dishes&nbsp;<strong>till her legs gave up<\/strong>.<\/li><li>Tina ran&nbsp;<strong>to the point of panting vehemently<\/strong>.<\/li><li>I went through the book&nbsp;<strong>at a lightning speed<\/strong>.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Principal Clause<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>These have a Subject (Noun\/Pronoun),\u00a0Finite Verb\u00a0and an Object and make full sentences that can stand alone or act as the main part of any Complex or Compound Sentence. Independent and Principal Clauses are functionally the same but named from different perspectives.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Examples:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>I know that boy.<\/li><li>He can jog every morning.<\/li><li>Robin fishes like a pro.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Coordinate Clause<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Two or more similarly important Independent Clauses joined by\u00a0Coordinating Conjunctions\u00a0(and, or, but etc.) in terms of Compound Sentences are called Coordinate Clauses.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Examples:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>I like taking photos<\/strong>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<strong>he loves posing for them<\/strong>.<\/li><li><strong>You prefer flying<\/strong>&nbsp;but&nbsp;<strong>she always wants to take a bus<\/strong>.<\/li><li><strong>We are going to visit Terry&nbsp;<\/strong>or<strong>&nbsp;he is coming over<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Non-finite Clause<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>They contain a Participle or an Infinitive Verb that makes the Subject and Verb evident even though hidden. In terms of a Participle, the Participial Phrase takes place of the Subject or Object of the sentence.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Examples:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>He saw the boy (who was)&nbsp;<strong>staring out of the window<\/strong>.<\/li><li>She is the first person (who is)&nbsp;<strong>to enter the office<\/strong>.<\/li><li><strong>Hearing the fireworks<\/strong>, the children jumped up.<\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&nbsp;cannot function on its own because it leaves an idea or thought unfinished.
