    An embedded clause is a subordinate clause contained within a main or matrix clause of a sentence. Embedded clauses are typically found at the beginning or end of sentences and are often introduced by markers such as that, when, who, where, etc., however some embedded clauses using gerunds may not have an introducing marker.

    CLAUSES

    An embedded clause, as the term suggests, is a


    clause that is fixed within a larger clause or sentence
    which is called the matrix clause. The embedded
    clause is usually found in the beginning or at the end
    of sentences. Markers commonly accompany or
    introduce embedded clauses. These markers may be
    that, when ,who where, etc. however. There are
    instances when a marker does not precede an
    embedded clause. Such is the case with gerunds.( e.g.
    swimming, eating, etc.)
