Types of Clauses
Independent Clauses
Some clauses make sense on their own. These types of
clauses are called main clauses. They are also known as ‘independent’ clauses because
they can stand on their own eg.Emma
walked to school.
Subordinate
Clauses
Some clauses do not make sense on their
own. These types of clauses are called subordinate clauses eg. Carrying heavy books.
These clauses cannot stand on their own because they are
not complete thoughts. But they are still clauses because they each contain a
subject and a main verb. They can be added at the beginning or end of an
independent clause eg.
Carrying heavy books, Emma walked to
school.
Emma walked to school, carrying heavy books.
Embedded Clause
You could even add a
clause in to the MIDDLE eg.
Emma, who
was carrying heavy books, walked to school.
