The document provides examples and explanations of embedded clauses. It defines embedded clauses as groups of words within a main clause that are usually marked by commas. Embedded clauses provide additional information about the topic of the sentence. They are dependent on the main clause and do not make sense on their own. The document gives examples of different types of embedded clauses including nominal clauses introduced by words like "that" and relative clauses introduced by words like "which." It also contains exercises for identifying and adding embedded clauses to sentences.

• Is a clause (a group of words that includes a
subject and a verb) that is within a main
clause or matrix clause, usually marked by
commas (but not always).
• It is an information related to the sentence
topic, it is put into the beginning, middle, and
end of the sentences to give the reader more
information and enhance sentence.

4. • Usually introduced by markers that, when,
which, who etc…
• However there's instances when a marker
does not precede an embedded clause. Such

make sense on its own.
