1. Clauses
Listen closely or we won't play kahoot.

2. What is a clause?
A clause is a group of related words containing a noun and a verb.
It is the structure of the sentence.
Example: I run daily.
ANIMATIONS!
Noun
Verb

3. Types of clauses WE WILL LEARN ABOUT
Independent
Dependent
ANIMATIONS!

4. WHAT IS AN Independent clause?
An independent clause is one that can stand alone in a sentence.
It has a noun, verb and a complete thought.
For example: John likes cake.
ANIMATIONS!
Independent clauses however are short so to make a complete sentence, you can join two together.
Noun
Verb
Complete thought

5. How to join independent clauses
1st way: Join them with a comma and a coordinating conjunction such as for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so. Example:
ANIMATIONS!
I was tired. I went to sleep.
I was tired so I went to sleep.

6. How to join independent clauses
2nd Way Use a semicolon. You would use a semicolon in place of a period if you want to emphasize how closely related to each other the statements are. Only use semicolons if there is a complete sentence before it and after it. Example:
ANIMATIONS!
I was tired. I went to sleep.
I was tired; I went to sleep.

7. How to join independent clauses
3rd Way The final way is to join them is with a semicolon, transition (a word that explains the relationship) and a comma. You would join them like how you would with a semicolon then in front of the semicolon put a transition and a comma in between the semicolon and the next sentence. Example:
ANIMATIONS!
We have two complete thoughts that are directly related to each other. Now that we have added 'however,' our audience knows that even though we are tired, we just cannot fall asleep.
I was tired. I went to sleep.
I was tired; however, I could not sleep.

8. WHAT IS A Dependent clause?
A dependent clause is one that cannot stand-alone and does not express a complete thought.
 Although it may have a subject and a verb, it depends on another clause to make the thought complete.
Dependent clauses start with a subordinate conjunction, a word that joins two clauses. 
Using a subordinate conjunction will let the audience know that there is more to come or something is expected to follow.
There are many different subordinate conjunctions, but some that you may already know are because, since, although, whenever, and after.
ANIMATIONS!

9. HOW TO COMPLETE Dependent clauses
Example:
Because I hate scary movies
, I did not watch the new one.
Subordinate conjunction
Noun
Verb
Because a dependent clause cannot stand-alone, you want to be sure to join it with an independent clause. To fix this, you would combine with an independent clause.
ANIMATIONS!
For example, it is a like a smart person that can do their work on their own but will help a dumber person who can't. That way they both work together.
'I did not watch the new one' is a complete thought and could stand-alone, but it completes the dependent clause that cannot stand alone.
