Clause, Independet Clause, Dependent Clause, Adjective Clause, Adjective Clause Pronouns

           A.    Introduction: Let’s remember

	Definition		Example
Clause	A clause is a group of words containing a subject and a verb.	Sue lives in Tokyo Where does Sue live?
Independent Clause	An independent clause is a complete sentence. It contains the main subject and verb of s sentence. (It is also called “a main clause.”)	Sue lives in Tokyo Where does Sure live?
Dependent Clause	A dependent clause is not a complete sentence. It must be connected to an independent clause.	Where Sue live?
Adjective Clause	An adjective clause is a dependent clause that modifies a noun. It describes, identifies, or gives further information about noun. (An adjective clause is also called “a relative clause.”)	Students who are intelligent understand adjectives.
Adjective Clause Pronouns	An adjective clause uses pronouns to connect the dependent clause to the independent clause. (Adjective clause pronouns are called “relative pronouns.”)	Students whom I admire want to become English teachers.
