Clauses and Sentences

More grammar - because we love grammar!


*Simple sentences have one clause.
*Clauses usually consist of a noun group as the subject and a verb group.
*Clauses can also have another noun group as the object or complement.
*Clauses can have an adverbial, also called an adjunct.
*Changing the order of the words in a clause can change its meaning.
*Compound sentences consist of two or more main clauses.  Complex sentences always include a subordinate clause, as well as one or more main clauses.


TO BEGIN:
1.  A simple sentence has one clause beginning with a noun group called the subject.  The subject is the person or thing that the sentence is about.  This is followed by a verb group, which tells you what the subject is doing or describe the subject's situation.
I waited.
The girl screamed.
