A clause is a sort of sentence within a sentence. In some cases they can be joined together with conjunctions such as or, and or but. For example: He put on his coat and they walked to the beach. "He put on his coat" is one clause and "They walked to the beach" is another. Because they do not depend on one another and are joined by a coordinating conjunction (the word and) such clauses are referred to as coordinate clauses.

How can you use break in a complex sentence?

Complex sentences are made by joining clauses together by either subordination or coordination. So the sentence consists of a main clause and a subordinate or coordinate clausesubordinate clause: We will phone you after the Easter break. There are different types of subordinate clauses -- after the Easter break is an adverbial clause. The main clause is We will phone you.and/or/but can be used to make coordinating complex sentences:We were just having a break and the rain started. The rain started is a coordinate clause, the main clause is we were just having a break.


What is faulty coordination?

Faulty coordination occurs when structures that do not match in form are treated as if they did match in form. Consider this example:Buying a new car, because thefts are frequent, and your age may make your insurance expensive.In the example, a writer incorrectly attempts to coordinate a phrase (buying a new car), a clause (because thefts are frequent), and a word (age). To successfully coordinate items, their structures (word, phrase, or clause) must be the same.

Does the sentence she wanted to leave early or she wanted to stay overnight use a dependent clause?

I find it difficult to figure out what your question means. If you are asking if the sentences: "She wanted to leave early or She wanted to stay overnight?" contain dependent clause, the answer is NO. "She wanted to leave early." and "She wanted to stay overnight." are both independent clauses. the OR used to connect the two clauses is a coordinate conjunction. you can tell if the other clause is a dependent clause if the conjunction used is a subordinating conjunction.


What type of conjunction is used to connect the two kinds of clauses together?
