Yes, you can expect questions that require identifying and using different types of clauses and phrases in the CBSE Class 10 English Grammar exam.


- Clauses: A clause is a group of words that contains both a subject and a predicate. It can express a complete thought and can function as a sentence on its own.
- Phrases: A phrase is a group of words that does not contain a subject and a predicate. It does not express a complete thought and cannot function as a sentence on its own. Phrases are used to add descriptive or additional information to a sentence.


- Main Clause: A main clause can stand alone as a sentence and expresses a complete thought.
- Subordinate Clause: A subordinate clause cannot stand alone as a sentence and depends on the main clause to complete its meaning. It functions as an adjective, adverb, or noun in a sentence.


- Noun Phrase: A noun phrase functions as a noun in a sentence. It consists of a noun and other words that modify or describe the noun.
- Adjective Phrase: An adjective phrase functions as an adjective in a sentence. It consists of an adjective and other words that modify or describe a noun or pronoun.

- To identify clauses and phrases in a sentence, you need to analyze the structure and function of each group of words.
- Look for subject and predicate to identify clauses. If a group of words has both, it is a clause.
- Look for the type of word being modified or described to identify phrases. If a group of words modifies or describes a noun, it is a noun phrase. If it modifies or describes an adjective, adverb, or verb, it is an adjective, adverb, or prepositional phrase respectively.
- Use the identified clauses and phrases to enhance the meaning and clarity of your sentences. Incorporate them appropriately to convey the desired message in a grammatically correct manner.

By understanding the types of clauses and phrases and practicing their identification and usage, you will be able to tackle questions related to them in the CBSE Class 10 English Grammar exam effectively.
