Directions: Create 9 unique sentences, 3 of each of the following kinds of dependent clauses: Adjective, Adverb, and Noun. Each sentence may be brief, but each must correctly use the type of clause asked for. Underline the clause in each sentence, and identify its type or grammatical function in parentheses after the sentence.
Follow this sample template for your post:
I. Adjective Clauses – at least one must be restrictive, and one must be non-restrictive
The cat that ate the lasagna is going out now. (restrictive)
My cat, which ate the lasagna, is going out now. (non-restrictive)
The cat that was purring steadily came over to me. (restrictive)
II. Adverb Clauses – bracket the dependent clause, and underline the subordinating conjunction
[When we arrived], the party was over.
The party was fun, [even though Joe was not there].
The party lasted all night, [till the break of dawn].
III. Noun Clauses – do not use a noun clause function more than once. Noun clause functions include subject, object, complement, or appositive.
How you did that is beyond me. (subject)
I don’t know how you did that. (object)
That is how you did that. (complement)
