What in the world is a clause? ?????

A clause is … a group of words that contains a subject and a complete predicate. Independent clauses are able to stand alone as a simple sentence. Example: She finished her homework before going to bed. Dependent clauses can’t stand alone, do not express a complete thought and act as either a noun, adjective or adverb. Example: before she went to bed.

Student examples Independent clauses Dependent clauses Colin’s leg is hurt. Bob the Builder fixed the building. We gave our best. Big Sean sings on Ariana Grande’s song “Problem.” Dependent clauses After Tuan (or Wilson) starts the race After Colin threw the ball Before the football game
