Test: Clause - 1 - Class 7 MCQ

A clause is a group of words that contains a subject and a predicate. It forms a part of a sentence.

An independent clause is a group of words that contains a subject and verb and expresses a complete thought. In this case, "The dog barked loudly" can stand alone as a complete sentence.

A dependent clause is a group of words that contains a subject and verb but does not express a complete thought. In this case, "if I finish my homework" is the dependent clause because it cannot stand alone as a complete sentence.

There are two types of clauses: independent clauses and dependent clauses.

An adverb clause is a dependent clause that modifies a verb, adjective, or adverb. In this case, "because it had a unique plot" is the adverb clause, modifying the adjective "interesting."

A dependent clause is a group of words that cannot stand alone as a complete sentence. In this example, "who won the race" is a dependent clause as it cannot stand alone as a complete sentence.

An adjective clause is a dependent clause that modifies a noun or pronoun. In this case, "that I bought last week" is the adjective clause, modifying the noun "car."

A noun clause is a dependent clause that acts as a noun. In this case, "what he said" is the noun clause, acting as the direct object of the verb "know."

An independent clause can stand alone as a complete sentence because it contains a subject and a predicate and conveys a complete thought.

A relative clause is a dependent clause that modifies a noun or pronoun and is introduced by a relative pronoun (e.g., who, which, that). In this case, "which I borrowed from the library" is the relative clause.
