 C. Presentation of The Topic

A. Sentence – is a group of words that expresses a complete thought or meaning. It begins with a capital letter
and ends with the right punctuation mark. It has two parts – the Subject and Predicate.

Example:

A folktale is orally transmitted from generation to generation. (The subject is a folktale

and the predicate should be is orally transmitted from generation to generation.

B. Clause – is a group of words that contains a subject and a predicate, yet cannot stand independently as a
sentence. It needs to be attached to the main sentence or main clause in order to have a complete meaning. It is
usually subordinate to the main cause that’s why it is called subordinate or dependent clause. Sometimes,
however, it may be part of the main clause functioning as one of its structure.

There is an easy way to identify a clause. A clause begins with subordinators: who, that, which, as, but,
whether, whose, when, where, why, whose, as, whenever, before, after, until, once, as soon as, wherever, as if,
as though, as..as, so…as, than, while, so that, so…that, in order that, since, because, in as much as, if, unless,
provided that, so long as, although, though

Example:

Prince Bantugan knew that his brother hated him. The clause in this sentence is
that his brother hated him. First, we must begin with the word clue, the word that.

*A clause may be classified as Adjective, Adverb, or Noun

• An adjective clause modifies or describes a substantive. Adjective clauses are mere elaborations of
adjectives in the sense that they expand simple adjectives. Thus a principled man becomes a man who
is principled; a tranquil scene becomes a scene that is tranquil. The adjective clause usually follows the
substantive it modifies.
• An adverb clause functions in the same way as an adverb; that is, it modifies a verb, a verbal, an
adjective, an adverb, or another clause.

Consider the following:

1. Adverb clauses modifying verbs
We arrived when the zarzuela was about to begin.

2. Adverb clauses modifying verbal

Dancing until he was exhausted, Ben enjoyed himself immensely.

3. Adverb clauses modifying adjectives

Girls are more sensitive than boys.

4. Adverb clauses modifying adverbs

The man ran faster than the other athletes did.

5. As an adverb clause modifying a main clause

As it turned out, the investigation into the illicit traffic of drugs yielded positive results.
Clauses have the same functions as nouns, they are commonly used as subjects of verbs, or as objects of
verbs, verbal, or prepositions.
The following are examples:
1. Subjects of Verbs
That conflicts in the world are escalating is beyond doubt.

2. Objects of verbs
The big financial institutions should donate whatever they can to the refugees.

3. Objects of participles
 Realizing that the plane was out of control, the passengers became frightened.

4. Prepositions I object to what he

said.

C. Phrase – a group of words that functions as a single grammatical unit. Since it functions as
a unit, it doesn’t have a subject and a predicate.
Examples:
have taught (verb phrase) are
listening (verb phrase)
in the office (prepositional phrase) for the
guest (prepositional)
big stone (adjective phrase) long steel
rod (adjectival)
people all over the world (noun phrase) rulers and
followers (noun)
