This document provides information about clauses and sentence structure. It defines clauses as essential parts of a sentence that must contain a subject and verb. There are two types of clauses: independent clauses, which can stand alone as a complete thought, and dependent clauses, which cannot stand alone and must be attached to an independent clause. The document identifies examples of independent and dependent clauses and teaches the reader to distinguish between the two clause types.

Editor's Notes
If you master the concept of clauses, you will be able to write different types of sentences and will also be able to correct your own sentences easily. In the end, to be a good writer you must learn to be your own personal English teacher.
Most people know that you need a subject and verb to make a sentence, but forget that a word group must make sense to be considered a sentence. For example, consider this clause: When I was going to Padre Island. This clause does have a subject, I, and a verb, was going; however, does it make sense? –NO!
Thus, it is not a sentence.
These two clauses are the building blocks of sentences. To make a variety of interesting sentences you need to use different combinations of clauses.
Some students may think that “Walk!” is not a sentence, but it is. It is a command and the subject, you, is implied, but not stated. If you will notice, you can make a sentence with very few words, and you will later see that most sentences can be broken down to two or three words. The rest of the words are either dependent clauses of phrases which are not essential to make a word group a sentence. For example: I ran to the grocery store , and when I was finally there, I realized that I had no money. The root to this sentence is I ran. We will look at this more closely later.
Dependent clauses seem like sentence, but are not sentences. For example: Because we had a great time. This word group has a subject and a verb, but does not make sense. However, in the middle of a paragraph this dependent clause (this fragment) can be easily missed. But when revising your paper, you will notice that it should be attached to a sentence before of after it.
Hint: You may have noticed that dependent clauses tend to leave you hanging as if a question has not been answered. Example: When we were going to town.
Hopefully, you did well. If not, don’t feel bad there is more practice ahead.
Give it another try! However, this assignment is a bit more difficult in that none of these word groups are only dependent clauses. They are all a combination of independent and dependent clauses. For example: As I was walking, I saw a plane. The italic part is the dependent clause and the underlined part is the independent clause. Together they form a complex sentence. This will be covered in our next lesson. So go through the sentences and see if you can identify the sentences accordingly. The answers will be on the next slide.
How did you do?
Did you do better? I am sure you did!
E-mail this assignment. To make it easier on yourself color code the assignment; make the dependent clause red and independent clauses green.
Good luck!
Tip:
Next time you read a newspaper or magazine article, try to pick out the independent and dependent clauses. This is good practice.
