A CLAUSE MAY:































               THEREFORE WE UNDERSTAND THAT………..
                A clause is a collection of words that has a subject that is actively doing an action(verb).
               The following are examples of clauses:


                            since she laughs at diffident men
                            I despise individuals of low character
                            when the saints go marching in
                            Orion Simpson is uglier
                            because she smiled at him


               LET’S UNDERSTAND THESE EXAMPLES BETTER……

               In the examples mentioned above, we find either a noun or a pronoun that is
               a subject (bold-print and red) attached to a predicate verb (underlined and purple) in each
               case:
   1   2   3   4   5
