CLAUSE
A. Definition of clause

clause is a group of words that contains a subject

and a predicate. But, sometimes clauses can act as
sentences. Because the 'predicate' can be filled with a
verb or it can also be filled with a non-verbal
 A clause that acts as a sentence is not
necessarily a complete sentence. This means
that not every clause can function as a sentence.
 B.Difference between Clause and Sentence
Sentences always convey meaning completely, while clauses do not always
convey meaning completely and clearly. Simply put, there are types of clauses
where if they are not combined with other clauses, they cannot produce a
meaning or context,

Clause:
1. Syahnaz was sleeping.
2. When I arrived home.

Sentence:
Syahnaz was sleeping when I arrived home.
ng the Main Idea: Clauses can stand alone and state a complete main idea. Example: “She sings beautifully,” where this clause has the subject “She” and the predicate “sings beautifu

C. Characteristics of clause

There are several characteristics that must be met in order for a part of a sentence
to be called a clause.
2
1. Subject and Predicate:

Clauses always have a subject, which is usually the party or thing doing the
action. There are also predicates, which contain actions or circumstances that
occur.

2. Stating the Main Idea:

Clauses can stand alone and state a complete main idea. Example:
“She sings beautifully,” where this clause has the subject “She” and the
predicate “sings beautifully.”
 3. Dependence on Sentences:
Clauses can be independent or dependent on other sentences to
provide complete meaning. Example: "Even though it was raining, they
continued the picnic." Here, the clause “Even though it was raining”
depends on another clause.

4. Idea Development:
Clauses can be used to develop ideas by providing additional
information. Example: “The cat, which had green eyes, purred
softly.” The clause “which had green eyes” provides additional
information about the cat.

5. Grammar Construction:
Clauses follow grammatical rules and grammatical
constructions to convey meaning clearly.

6. Conditional Clause
7. Coordinate Clause

 1. Independent Clause (Main Clause)

1 An independent clause is a clause that can stand alone. In this type of clause,
the resulting meaning will be complete or complete, and we can understand
the context and ideas easily even without accompanying clauses. Apart from
that, one of the characteristics of an independent clause is that there are no
conjunctions contained in it.
3
The clause "Syahnaz was sleeping" in the previous discussion is an example
of an independent clause.
 2. Dependent Clause (Subordinate Clause)

1 A dependent clause is a clause that 'depends'

2 on another clause, a clause that
cannot stand alone. This clause is also called a subordinate clause. because it
begins with a subordinate conjunction. This clause still needs a main sentence
so that its meaning can be understood completely and completely.
From the previous example, the dependent clause is "Even though the teacher
explained it well
3
In this clause, there is the word "although" which is a subordinating
conjunction.
 3. Noun Clause

Noun clause is Every group of words consisting of a subject and a verb, then
1 functions as2a noun.
example in a sentence:
You really don't want to know the ingredients in Aunt Hani's stew.
In the sentence above, the noun is i "ingredients" .

3 we change the noun "ingredients" with a clause,

If
it will transform into a noun clause as below:
You really don't want to know what Aunt Hani adds to her stew.
So, 'what Aunt Hani added to her stew' is the clause.
 4. Adjective Clause

1 An adjective clause or adjective clause is a clause that acts as an

adjective. There are two types of adjective clauses, namely adjective
clauses that begin with a relative pronoun (such as who, whom,
whose, which, or that) and adjective clauses that begin with an
3 adverb (when, where, and why).
 5. Adverbial Clause

1 An adverbial clause is a clause that modifies another

predicate or adverb in a sentence.

 6. Conditional Clause

1 Conditional clause is a clause that functions as a

presupposition. So, through this clause, you can
indicate something that might happen, but is
3
uncertain (possible to happen, but don't know
whether it will happen or not).
 7. Coordinate Clause

A coordinate clause is a clause that begins with a coordinate

1 conjunction. The coordinating conjunctions most often used in
this clause are “and” and “but”
Example: I'm not a fan of vegetables, but I don't mind spinach.
In this sentence there is the word “but” as a subordinate clause
3
whose meaning is not complete if it stands alone without a main
clause.

ADVERBIAL CLAUSES

Sometimes, a sentence might make its point perfectly clear, but still need a little extra description. When you come across a sentence like this in your writing, use an adverb.

1 its sentence. In other words, an adverbial clause is a clause that does the same thing as

 A subordinate conjunction is a word or phrase that is useful for

phrase shows that the clause has informative value to add an idea to the

 E. Difference between Adverbial Clause and Adjective Clause

An adverbial clause is a dependent clause that modifies a noun or pronoun.

1 2
Meanwhile, the adjective clause explains the noun or noun phrase which
answers the question which or what type of.
Examples of Adjective Clauses:
The grand piano, which was my father's favorite, did not fit into my new
3
apartment.
John, who won the lottery, just went to Europe.
Jane broke the car which she was given for her birthday.
 The adjective clause answers the question which and describes the noun. Another
characteristic of adjective clauses is that you cannot move them in a sentence without
destroying the grammatical structure of the sentence. However, with Adverbial clauses,
there is usually no problem with it, and its position in the sentence can be changed
very easily.

Example :
which was my father’s favorite, the grand piano did not fit into my
new apartment.
The grand piano did not fit into my new apartment, which was my
father’s favorite.

3 When you change the structure of the adjective clause, the

sentence becomes disjointed. Actually, this can be an easy
way to determine whether the sentence is an adverb clause
or an adjective clause. If you are confused, try moving the
clauses around. If it feels strange, it's an adjective clause.
