Hello again, and thank you for giving me an opportunity to give you some information, which is what I got in module three.
- The sentence has two types in clause:
- Independent (contain a subject + verb / stands on its own)
- Dependent (contain a subject + verb / cannot stand on its own / begins with a dependent marker)
- Common dependent marks:
- Time condition (after, before, when, while, during, as, until, whenever...etc.)
- Causal condition (because, so that, since... etc.)
- Contrary condition (though, although, even though, except that...etc.)
- Potential condition (If, even if, unless, provided that...etc.
- To have a proper sentence we need to:
- Punctuations.
- Include a subject+ verb.
- Be careful to write a complete thought.
- The sentence has two types based on quantities:
simple sentence
compound sentence complex sentence One independent

clause
