Clauses can be classified as "independent" (main clauses) and "dependent" (subordinate clauses). A typical sentence consists of one independent clause, possibly augmented by one or more dependent clauses. An independent clause is a simple sentence.

Some prescriptive grammars consider sentences starting with a conjunction such as "but" or "and" to be incomplete sentences, but this style prescription has "no historical or grammatical foundation". Computer grammar checkers often highlight incomplete sentences. If the context is clear from the rest of the paragraph, however, an incomplete sentence may be permissible. A "run-on" or "fused" sentence consists of two or more independent clauses (i.e., clauses with subject and predicate)

text: Dependent clause A dependent clause is a clause that provides a sentence element with additional information, but which cannot stand alone as a sentence. A dependent clause can either modify an adjacent clause or serve as a component of an independent clause. Some grammarians use the term subordinate clause to refer only to adverbial dependent clauses. The different types of dependent clauses include content clauses (noun clauses), relative (adjectival) clauses, and adverbial clauses. In Indo-European languages, a dependent clause usually begins with a dependent word. One kind of dependent word is a subordinating conjunction. Subordinating conjunctions are used to begin

The sentence also contains a relative clause, "when your heart was about to burst". An incomplete sentence, or sentence fragment, is a set of words which does not form a complete sentence, either because it does not express a complete

Negative questions are formed similarly; however if the verb undergoing inversion has a contraction with "not", then it is possible to invert the subject with this contraction as a whole.

The syntax of a dependent clause is generally the same as that of an independent clause, except that the dependent clause usually begins with a subordinating conjunction or relative pronoun (or phrase containing such). In some situations (as already described) the conjunction or relative pronoun "that" can be omitted. Another type of dependent clause with no subordinating conjunction is the

There are three types of sentences that the Tunica language produces: simple, compound, and complex. Simple sentences must contain only one predicative word. Compound sentences have two or more main clauses. Complex sentences have a main clause and one or more of the different types of subordinate clauses that are

Subordinate clauses ("embedded clauses", "dependent clauses") are those that would be awkward or incomplete if they were alone. A primary division for the discussion of clauses is the distinction between main clauses (i.e. "matrix clauses", "independent clauses") and subordinate clauses (i.e. "embedded clauses", "dependent clauses"). A main clause can stand alone, i.e. it can constitute a complete sentence by itself. A subordinate clause (i.e. "embedded clause"), in contrast, is reliant on the appearance of a main clause; it depends on the

An independent clause realises a speech act such as a statement, a question, a command or an offer. A non-independent clause does not realise any act. A non-independent clause (simplex or complex) is usually logically related to other non-independent clauses. Together they usually constitute a single independent clause (complex). For that reason, non-independent clauses are also called "interdependent". For instance, the non-independent clause "because I have no friends" is related to the non-independent clause "I don't

As suggested by the main clause, which is the second within the sentence, the new paragraph will address how the ant works to benefit herself as well. Questions at the beginning of new paragraphs can make topic sentences which both remind the reader of what was in

The dependent clause is called a "subordinate clause" and the independent clause is called the "main clause" (= matrix clause). Subordinate clauses are usually introduced by subordinators (= subordinate conjunctions) such as "after", "because", "before", "if", "so that", "that", "when", "while", etc. For example: The strings in bold are subordinate clauses, and the strings in non-bold are the main clauses. Sentences must consist of at least one main clause, whereas the number of subordinate clauses is hypothetically without limitation. Long sentences that contain many subordinate clauses

A complex sentence has at least one independent clause plus at least one dependent clause.  A set of words with no independent clause may be an incomplete sentence, also called a sentence fragment.

text: Dependents include any number of complements (especially a noun phrase functioning as the object), and other modifiers of the verb. Noun phrase constituents which are personal pronouns or (in formal registers) the pronoun "who(m)" are marked for case, but otherwise it is word order alone that indicates which noun phrase is the subject and which the object. The presence of complements depends on the pattern followed by the verb (for example, whether it is a transitive verb, i.e. one taking a direct object). A given verb may allow a number of possible patterns (for example, the verb "write" may be

A clause is built around a verb and includes its constituents, such as any NPs and PPs. Within a sentence, one clause is always the main clause (or matrix clause) whereas other clauses are subordinate to it. Subordinate clauses may function as arguments of the verb in the main clause. For example, in the phrase "I think (that) you are lying", the main clause is headed by the verb "think", the subject is

A finite clause contains a structurally central finite verb, whereas the structurally central word of a non-finite clause is often a non-finite verb. Traditional grammar focuses on finite clauses, the awareness of non-finite clauses having arisen much later in connection with the modern study of syntax. The discussion here also focuses on finite clauses, although some aspects of non-finite clauses are considered further below. Clauses can be classified according to a distinctive

For example: Irish also has two types of conditional clause, which are introduced by two different words for "if": introduces realis clauses, and introduces irrealis clauses. Realis clauses indicate conditionals with a possible fulfillment (e.g. "if he is agreeable", which leaves open the possibility that he is), while irrealis clauses indicate purely hypothetical conditionals (e.g. "if it were a nice day", but it isn't).

Some of the English words that introduce content clauses are "that, who" (and obsolete "whom"), "whoever" (and obsolete "whomever"), "whether, why, what, how, when", and "where". Notice that some of these words also introduce relative and adverbial clauses. A clause is a content clause if a pronoun (he, she, it, or they) could be substituted for it. Follow these examples:

In other words, the relative clause functions similar to an adjective. In the first example, the restrictive relative clause "who has been deceived" specifies or defines the meaning of "him" in the independent clause, "Let him complain". In the second example, the non-restrictive relative clause "who have never known your family" describes "you" in the independent clause, "You see them standing around you". A noun clause is a

English is an SVO language, that is, in simple declarative sentences the order of the main components is "subject–verb–object(s)" (or "subject–verb–complement"). A typical finite clause consists of a noun phrase functioning as the subject, a finite verb, followed by any number of dependents of the verb. In some theories of grammar the verb and its dependents are taken to be a single component called a verb phrase or the predicate of the clause; thus the clause can be said to consist of subject plus predicate.

text: "girl", and one predicate, "ran into her bedroom". The predicate is a verb phrase that consists of more than one word. This simple sentence has one independent clause which contains one subject, "dog", and one predicate, "barked and howled at the cat". This predicate has two verbs, known as a compound predicate: "barked" and "howled". This compound verb should not be confused with a compound sentence. "In the backyard" and "at the cat" are prepositional phrases. A compound sentence is composed of at least two independent clauses. It does not require a dependent clause. The clauses are joined by a

In the former sentence, "My point" is a complete subject, and requires only one "is" as the main verb of the sentence. Another example of grammatically valid use of "is is" is "All it is is a ..." Some sources describe the usage after a dependent clause (the second example) as "non-standard" rather than generally correct. The term "double is", though commonly used to describe this practice, is somewhat inaccurate, since other forms of the word (such as "was" and "were") can

As a dependent clause, a non-finite clause plays some kind of grammatical role within a larger clause that contains it. What this role can be, and what the consequent meaning is, depends on the type of non-finite verb involved, the constructions allowed by the grammar of the language in question, and the meanings of those constructions in that language. Some examples are noted below: According to Priscian, "delenda" is a participle because it agrees in number, case, and gender with a noun, namely "Carthago", the subject. In Priscian's

"He saw Mary "when he was in New York"" and "They studied hard "because they had a test"" both contain adverbial clauses (in italics). Adverbial clauses express "when, why, where, opposition", and "conditions", and, as with all dependent clauses, they cannot stand alone. For

This sentence also includes two independent clauses, "I cried" and "I didn't faint", connected by the coordinating conjunction "but". The first dependent clause, together with its object (the second dependent clause), adverbially modifies the verbs of both main clauses. Dependent clauses may be headed by an infinitive, gerund, or other non-finite

text: Clause In language, a clause is the smallest grammatical unit that can express a complete proposition. A typical clause consists of a subject and a predicate, the latter typically a verb phrase, a verb with any objects and other modifiers. However, the subject is sometimes not said or explicit, often the case in null-subject languages if the subject is retrievable from context, but it sometimes also occurs in other languages such as English (as in imperative sentences and non-finite clauses). A simple sentence usually consists of a single finite clause with a finite verb that is independent. More complex sentences

"Wh"-words often serve to help express a constituent question.
