There are two types of clauses: dependent and independent. Independent clauses can stand alone as a sentence while dependent clauses cannot because they do not express a complete thought and need to be paired with an independent clause. Dependent clauses are often introduced by words like because, when, if, while, and that and if placed first in a sentence must be separated from the independent clause by a comma.
This the fifth part of sentence transformation and in this slide we are going to learn how to transform simple to compound, compound to complex and complex to simple sentences ans vice-versa without changing the meaning of the sentences.

A transitive verb is a verb that requires an object to receive the action. An intransitive verb does not take an object. Using an object immediately after an intransitive verb will create an incorrect sentence. However, there may be other information after the verb, such as one or more prepositional phrases or an adverb. In this Power Point Presentation I clearly discussed about the Transitive and Intransitive verbs. Please make use of this Power Point Presentation for your reference purpose.
Introduction to clauses and the Noun Clause are covered in this lesson. This ranges from the meaning of clauses, types of clauses and the grammatical functions.

1. Notes: Clauses—Dependent & Independent
A clause is a group of words that contains a subject (noun) and a predicate (verb).
There are two types of clauses: Dependent (DEP) and Independent (IND)
Independent Clauses
-expresses a complete thought and can stand alone as a sentence.
-IND clauses are also called main clauses
EX: Some students work in the food pantry
EX: We all want bargains
Dependent Clauses
-may contain a subject or verb, but do not express a complete thought.
-DEP clauses CANNOT stand alone as a sentence; they need the IND to make sense.
-DEP clauses are often introduced by words such as: because, when, if, while, that
EX: because they care about helping hungry people.
EX: when we buy things.
EX: While in France
-When a DEP comes first in the sentence, it is separated from the IND clause by a comma.
EX: While in France, Claire saw the Eiffel Tower.
