Asslamualaikum,
I hope all are fine. The basic things in Grammar in which most of the students are confused, let me illustrate them. SENTENCE: A group of words which has subject and predicate and gives clear and complete sense is called sentence. Ex: He is a student. (Here we have subject (He) and predicate (is a student). Sentence has five kinds. 1)Declarative sentence: A sentence that makes a simple statement is called declarative or assertive clause. Ex: Aslam plays cricket. He does not play football. 2)Interrogative sentence: It is as clear as crystal that a sentence which makes an interrogative statement. Ex: Does she oxidize the reagent? 3)Optative sentence: A sentence in which we express wish, pray or desire. Ex: May you pass the css! May God bless you! 4)Imperative sentence: A sentence which contains order, request, proposal, suggestion, command etc. Ex: Shut the door. Come on time. 5)Exclamatory sentence: A sentence in which we express sudden and strong feelings of happiness, sorrow and joy. Ex: Alas! He died. Hurrah! We have won the match. CLAUSE: A group of words that has a subject and predicate and sometimes give clear and complete sense and sometimes does not. Ex: They are playing football. (This clause gives clear and complete sense by itself. Ex: If he works hard. (This sentence does not give clear and complete sense by itself it needs explanation. We can classify the clauses into two kinds: 1)Independent clause. Dependent clause To be continued......... Dependent clause: A group of words that has a subject and predicate and does not give clear and complete sense by itself but need the help of other clause. A question arises that " what is the difference b/w dependent clause and phrase if both does not give clear and complet sens? The answer is that " phrase does not have subject and predicate while the dependant clause have both of these. Ex: If she works hard, ( It is a dependant clause because it has subject and predicate). Ex: In the evening ( It is an example of phrase, it is with out subject and predicate). The dependent clause more than 9 kinds. 1) Adjective or relative clause: A group of words that has a subject and predicate and works as an adjective. These clauses modify the nouns and pronouns of independent clause. |
