Types Of Phrase

Clause
Definition of clause A group of words that contains a subject and a predicate. Example
I will meet him in office. The kids were laughing at the joker The teacher asked a question, but no one answered.

 There are two types of clauses: independent and dependent. An independent clause demonstrates a complete thought, it is a complete sentence. Example: I am sad. I met the boy who had helped me. She is wearing a shirt which looks nice. A dependent clause is not a complete sentence. Example: Because I have no friends. He likes Chinese rice which tastes good.

Sentences
Definition of sentences A group of word that expresses a complete idea or thought and that includes a subject and a verb. A sentence begins with capital letter and ends with a period, question mark or exclamation mark. Example : He bought a book. He goes to school. She is eating an apple. My name is John.

Simple Sentences
Definition of simple sentences A sentence structure that contains one independent clause and no dependent clauses. A simple sentence has a subject and a verb and completes a thought.

 Example :
I am running. The singer bowed. The babies cried. The girl ran into her bedroom.

 Rule 1: Simple sentences can be very short, consisting of only one word (a noun) for the subject and one word (a verb) for the predicate. The noun is called the simple subject, and the verb is the simple predicate. John laughed. Rule 2: Simple sentences can be long, although they still consist of one subject (a noun and modifiers) and one predicate (a verb and other elements). The noun is called the simple subject, and the verb is the simple predicate. The tall, good-looking boy with the curly blond hair laughed uproariously at his best friends suggestion.

1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

But Dorothy and Toto got home safely Purity and innocence characterize Dorothy Mounting resistance by the Grange Blowing smoke and making noise in the great hall Whereas small farmers were oppressed by Eastern bankers 6. was William Jennings Bryan a cowardly lion

Reason the answer

This example is again an independent clause. It contains a compound subject ("Dorothy and Toto") and a verb ("got"). The word "but" at the beginning is a "FANBOYS," a coordinating conjunction. If the conjuction had been a subordinator, we would have had a dependent clause, but independent clauses CAN begin with a "FANBOYS." We have a clause here because there is a compound subject ("purity and innocence") and a verb ("characterize"). It is an independent clause because it can stand on its own as a simple sentence. We have a clause here because there is a compound subject ("purity and innocence") and a verb ("characterize"). It is an independent clause because it can stand on its own as a simple sentence.

Reason the answer

Again we have a couple of "-ing" constructions ("blow-ing smoke" and "mak-ing noise"), but the example contains no verb. This is a phrase. The verb in this clause is "were oppressed," and the subject is "small farmers." The clause cannot stand on its own as a simple sentence because of the subordinating conjunction "whereas"; as a result, this is a dependent clause. Put a question mark at the end of this example and we'd have a valid question and a complete sentence. This independent clause contains a subject ("William Jennings Bryan") and a verb ("was").
