Topic: Subordinate clause

	Clause - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In grammar, a clause is a group of words consisting of a subject and a predicate, although, in non-finite clauses, the subject is often not explicitly given.
		A clause is either a whole sentence or in effect a sentence-within-a-sentence.
		Dependent clauses are often classified by which part of speech they function as: a noun clause functions as a noun, an adjective clause functions as an adjective, and an adverb clause functions as an adverb.

		A subordinate clause is usually introduced by a subordinating element such as a subordinating conjunction or relative pronoun.
		Subordinate clauses normally act as single part of speech.
		To make a subordinate clause, add a clause subordinator to the beginning of any main clause; then supply a new main clause to support it.

	Dependent clause - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In itself, a dependent clause does not express a complete thought; therefore, it is usually attached to an independent clause.
		Subordinating conjunctions are used to begin dependent clauses known as adverbial clauses which act like adverbs.
		Relative pronouns begin dependent clauses known as adjective clauses, which act like adjectives, or noun clauses, which act like a nouns.

	The Subordinate Clause
		A subordinate clause cannot stand alone as a sentence because it does not provide a complete thought.
		Correctly attach a subordinate clause to a main clause.
		Subordinate clauses can begin with relative pronouns [and thus are called relative clauses, a type of subordinate clause].

	Clauses: the Essential Building-Blocks
		In a relative clause, the relative pronoun is the subject of the verb (remember that all clauses contain a subject-verb relationship) and refers to (relates to) something preceding the clause.
		Subordination involves turning one of the clauses into a subordinate element (one that cannot stand on its own) through the use of a Subordinating Conjunction (sometimes called a dependent word) or a Relative Pronoun.
		When the clause begins with a subordinating word, it is no longer an independent clause; it is called a dependent or subordinate clause because it depends on something else (the independent clause) for its meaning.

		Usually we add secondary of "subordinate" clauses to our basic sentences to supply further information without ending one sentence and starting another, eg "The cat sat on the mat which was in the middle of the room." Grammatically there are a number of different kinds of subordinate clause.
		If the verb of the clause is the verb "to be" (or the verb "to have"), any trace of the verb may be lost, eg "the mat in the middle of the room." — this is actually an example of a prepositional phrase (it is no longer a true clause as there is no verb).
		Subordinate clauses, however, are only a smallish aspect of grammar and language, and any complete consideration of style or register must look to a great many other factors.

		The subordinate clause(s) are not by themselves meaningful sentences.
		In English subordinate clauses which function as adjectives are generally introduced by either 'that', 'which', or 'who'.
		The two simple sentences in parentheses are intended to emphasize the identity of the relative pronoun and the antecedent and the fact that within the subordinate clause the relative pronoun is a surrogate for the antecedent noun.

		In grammar, a conjunction is a part of speech that connects two words, phrases, or clauses together.

	Using Clauses as Nouns, Adjectives, and Adverbs
		In this case, the clause could not be a sentence by itself, since the conjunction "because" suggests that the clause is providing an explanation for something else.
		A noun clause is an entire clause which takes the place of a noun in another clause or phrase.
		In formal writing, an adjective clause begins with the relative pronouns "who(m)," "that," or "which." In informal writing or speech, you may leave out the relative pronoun when it is not the subject of the adjective clause, but you should usually include the relative pronoun in formal, academic writing:

	Grammatical mood - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Typically, it introduces subordinate clauses which are headed by a phrase roughly meaning 'on the condition that', such as 'if', 'as long as', etc., and these phrases can have their meaning intensified by items like 'even', as in 'even if'.
		A peculiarity in English and several related languages is that the conditional mood occurs only in the main clause: the verb of the subordinate clause is marked for subjunctive modality.
		This is unusual; in Finnish, for example, the conditional mood is used both in the main and the subordinate clauses.

		Verbs in subordinate clauses are in most cases distinguished from their main clause counterparts by their tone pattern, and in a few paradigms, by different endings too.
		As with other noun phrases, subject marking on clauses takes place when the clause is subject of its main sentence; and is best seen as a process operating on the absolutive case form.
		Although it behaves in a similar way with other subordinate clauses, when the subject of a relative clause is also the head of the clause, it shows a difference.
