What are Clauses? When to use Clauses?

A clause is a group of words that contains a subject and a verb.

Clauses are used to combine two or more ideas into one sentence.

A clause can be independent (main clause) or dependent (subordinate clause).

Examples of independent clauses: She ate breakfast, He sang a song.

Examples of dependent clauses: When she ate breakfast, After he sang a song.

Dependent clauses cannot stand alone as a sentence, but when added to an independent clause, they can make a complete sentence.

Clauses are important when writing essays, reports, and other types of writing as they help to make sentences more interesting and complex.
