A clause is a group of words that includes a subject and a verb . (A clause functions as an adjective, an adverb, or a noun.) There are two kinds of Clauses: 1) Principal or Main Clause A main clause is a clause that contains a subject and an object. They make sense on their own. For example, § "I like ice-cream" is a simple sentence made of a main clause. § "I like ice-cream and I like chocolate" is a compound sentence made up of two main clauses ('I like ice- cream' and 'I like chocolate'). The two main clauses are joined by the conjunction 'and.' 2) Subordinate Clause A subordinate clause contains a subject and a verb but it depends on the main clause for making sense as it does not make complete sense on its own. For example, "I will go to the market if you come with me"...
