Clauses 

A clause is a group of words that contains both a subject and a predicate (or a verb). There are two types of clauses. They are independent clause and dependent clause
Example:

Kalpana wants to buy a phone, (Independent Clause) but she does not have enough money(Independent Clause) . 

If you don't study well,(Dependent Clause) you won't pass the exam. (Independent Clause

Kavin bought a car (Independent Clause) which was too expensive.(Dependent Clause)  

Sanjai is a talented player (Independent Clause) though he is out of form. (Dependent Clause

Independent Clauses also known as main clauses are complete sentences. They can stand alone and express a complete thought. 
Example:

I need a book. 

Mary prefers coffee. 

Ram is a good volleyball player. 

Dependent Clauses also known as subordinate clauses contain a subject and a predicate, but they do not express a complete thought. 
Example:

When it is raining 

Because you were late 

After you go to school 

A clause is a group of words that contains both a subject and a predicate (or a verb). There are two types of clauses. They are independent clause and dependent clause. 


There are three main types of Dependent clauses: Adjective, Adverb and Noun. 


An Adjective Clause describes or gives more information about a noun—tells us which one, what kind, or how many. 

Example:
The book that I left on the bus belongs to Mr. Baskar. 

An Adverb Clause describes or gives more information about the verb—tells us when, where, how, to what extent, or under what condition something is happening. 

Example:
She was happy because her father gave her a watch. 

A Noun Clause takes the place of a noun in the sentence. 

Example:

This is the best route that I know
