Clause Review
• A clause includes a subject and a verb.• Remember that a clause can be independent
or dependent.– Independent clauses don’t need help.– Dependent clauses need to be with an
independent clause.• Adjective Clauses are dependent clauses.

What’s an adjective clause?
• Just like an adjective, an adjective clause describes a noun.– Adjective clauses can help identify which noun.

(non-identifying clauses / nonrestrictive clauses)Sarah, who didn’t study for the exam, did not pass.

• Remember that a pronoun REPLACES a noun.
