dependent clause with the examples
Clause
A clause is a group of words that contains a subject and a verb. It can function as a complete sentence or
as part of a larger sentence. Clauses are the building blocks of sentences and can be categorized into
independent and dependent clauses.
1. Independent Clause
An independent clause is a complete sentence that expresses a full thought and can stand alone. It has
both a subject and a predicate.
Example:
• She loves reading books.
• The sun shines brightly.
• We will go to the park tomorrow.
2. Dependent Clause (Subordinate Clause)
A dependent clause (also called a subordinate clause) is a group of words that contains a subject and a
verb but does not express a complete thought. It cannot stand alone and depends on an independent
clause to complete its meaning.
Example:
• Because she loves reading books (incomplete thought, needs more information)
• Although it was raining (incomplete thought)
• When we go to the park (incomplete thought)

5. what is a subject verb agreement and explain rules of


subject verb agreement with examples.
-Subject-Verb Agreement
Subject-Verb Agreement refers to the grammatical rule that the verb in a sentence must agree with its
subject in number (singular or plural).
1. Singular subjects take singular verbs, and plural subjects take plural verbs.
Example:
• She writes a letter. (Singular subject → Singular verb)
• They write a letter. (Plural subject → Plural verb)
2. Two singular subjects joined by ‘and’ take a plural verb.
Example:
• John and Sarah are best friends.
John and Sarah is best friends. (Incorrect)
• Bread and butter is my favorite breakfast.
3. When subjects are joined by ‘or’ or ‘nor,’ the verb agrees with the subject closest to it.
Example:
• Either the teacher or the students are coming. (Closest subject: "students" → "are")
• Neither the students nor the teacher is coming. (Closest subject: "teacher" → "is")
4. Collective nouns take a singular verb when considered as one unit but a plural verb when referring to
individuals.
Example:
• The team is winning. (Single unit)
• The team are arguing among themselves. (Individuals)
5. Indefinite pronouns (everyone, someone, anybody, each) take a singular verb.
Example:
• Everyone loves ice cream.
• Each student has a book.
Everyone love ice cream. (Incorrect)
6. When a sentence starts with "there" or "here," the verb agrees with the actual subject.
Example:
• There is a pen on the table. (Singular subject: "pen" → "is")
• There are books on the table. (Plural subject: "books" → "are")
7. Some nouns always take a singular verb (news, mathematics, physics, etc.).
Example:
• Mathematics is difficult.
• The news is shocking.
8. Titles of books, movies, and works take a singular verb.
Example:
• "The Avengers" is a popular movie.
9. Distances, amounts of money, and periods of time take a singular verb.
Example:
• Five miles is a long walk.
• Ten dollars is enough.
10. Fractions and percentages take a verb based on the noun that follows them.
Example:
• One-third of the cake is left. (Singular: "cake")
• One-third of the students are absent. (Plural: "students")
11. Plural-form nouns with singular meaning take a singular verb (civics, economics, physics).
Example:
• Economics is an interesting subject.
• Physics is my favorite class.
12. Some words (e.g., scissors, trousers, glasses) take a plural verb unless preceded by "a pair of."
Example:
• My trousers are dirty.
• A pair of trousers is in the drawer.
