English Grammar : Clause

Learn Grammar | English Grammar : Clause | Clause is a group of words that already have a subject and predicate are used to express an idea or complete thoughts. Due to already have a subject and predicate of the clause could be called a sentence.
When a sentence has more than one clause, ie one as independent clause and the other as a dependent clause, the sentence would be complex.

a. Consisting of one as a main clause (independent clause, main clause, independent clause)
b. Consists of one or more subordinate clauses (clause section, clause bound, dependent clause.)
