Dependent Clause

The clause that he had made is not complete, grammatically correct

sentences in English.
A dependent clause is a group of words that also contains a subject and
a verb, but it is not a complete thought. Because is not a complete
thought, a dependent clause cannot stand on its own as a sentences; it is
dependent on being attached to an independent clause to form a

sentence
A clause can be dependent because of the presence of a:
1. Subordinator: Before, after, because, since, in order to, althought,
thought, whenever, whereever, whether, where, while, even though,
even, if
2. Conjunction: And, or, nor, but, yet
Dependent Clauses must be joined to another clause, in order to avoid
creating a sentence fragment, example:
Because I forgot my homework
Subordinat S+V+Complement
This is a sentences fragment. We have a because but not a why
or anything accompanying and following what happened.
Because i forget my home work, i got anger from my teacher
Dependent Clause
Another clause
Here is correct, I got anger from my teacher is an independent
clause. This sentence is complete senteces who have a complete

thought.
There are three types of dependent clauses:
1. Noun clauses, which function gramatically as nouns
Whether we are going has not yet been decided
The clause which underline have a functions as the subject of the
verbs in the main clause
He told me that he would write next week
the clause which underline have a functions as the direct object of
the verb
2. Adjective clauses, which function grammatically as adjective
Remember that adjective modify (or describe) nouns, For
example the adjective blue

in the phrase a blue car tells us

something about the noun car

In the same way, an adjective clause gives additional
information about a noun, example:
Is that the woman whom you told me about?

The clause which underline gives additional information about the

noun woman
Please give me the letter that he left in his briefcase
The clause which underline modifies the noun letter
3. Adverb clauses, which function grammatically as adverbs
Adverbs usually answer questions such as how?., when?., and
why?., or they give constractive information. For example, quickly
in the sentence He walked quickly tell us how the man walked.
In the sentences, she arrived on time the adverbial on time tells
us when she arrived. Here are examples:
As soon as he arrives, tell him to wait in the lobby
The adverb clause which underline tells when wil be told to wait
He wil nit meet her because she has insulted him
The adverb clause which underline tells why he will not meet her
Althought the children had heard the story several times, they
always begged their granfather to repeat it
The adverb clause which underline gives a contrast to the idea that
the children begged their grandfather to repeat a story
