A comma
No, a relative pronoun introduces a relative clause, a group of words that includes a subject and a verb but is not a complete sentence. A relative clause gives information about its antecedent (most often the subject of the sentence).Example: The teacher who assigned the work should answer your question.The relative pronoun 'who' introduces the relative clause 'who assigned the work' which relates information about its antecedent 'teacher'.An adverbial clause is a dependent clause, a group of words that includes a subject and a verb but is not a complete sentence. An adverbial clause functions as an adverb; the entire clause modifies a verb, an adjective, or another adverb.Example: Call me when you're ready.The adverb 'when' introduces the adverbial clause 'when you're ready' which modifies the verb 'call'.
A noun clause can function as the subject or an object in a sentence.Examples:Death is certain should be kept in mind. (subject of the sentence)He had written "Death is certain." (direct object of the verb)
The direct object of the verb "will loan" is "money" (the complete direct object is the noun phrase "money for lunch").The indirect object is the noun clause "whomever needs it". However, the pronoun "whomever" is incorrect. Although the noun clause is functioning as an indirect object of the verb, the pronoun is the subject of the clause.The noun clause should read, "whoever needs it".
A relative pronoun is a word used to introduce a relative clause, a type of subordinate (dependent) clause that 'relates' to the antecedent.A relative clause is a group of words that includes a subject and a verb but is not a complete sentence. The relative clause provides information about its antecedent.The relative pronouns are who, whom, whose, which, that.Examples:The boy who called you was looking for the math assignment.To whom should I address the note.The man whose car was damaged was angry.The ring which was my grandmother's was a graduation gift.The car that I drive is old.
"You passed" can be a statement (you did not fail).When used as an adjective clause, it omits the relative pronoun (that or who):The bus (that) you passed is full of tourists.The runner (whom) you passed in the race is the former state champion.You should qualify for advanced placement based on the test (that) you passed.
If should be followed by a dependent clause, a comma, an independent clause and then a period.
Yes, a comma should be used after the independent clause when it is followed by a dependent clause. This helps to clarify the relationship between the two clauses and improve the overall readability of the sentence.
Yes, you should use a comma after the word "that" when it introduces a dependent clause in a sentence. This helps clarify the relationship between the main clause and the dependent clause.
Yes, you should use a comma to separate a dependent clause and a verb.
Yes. "Should you take the bus to school" is the main clause. "or" is the *coordinating* conjunction "should you walk" is the independent clause. Coordinating conjunctions are used to connect independent clauses. Actually, both clauses are interchangeable, and both are independent. They are independent because they can stand alone as complete sentences: "Should you take the bus to School?" is a complete sentence. "Should you walk?" is also a complete sentence. A dependent clause could not stand by itself as a complete sentence. For example: "You could take the bus, although I think you should walk". "...although I think you should walk" is a dependent clause because it is introduced with the *subordinating* conjunction "although" and cannot stand alone by itself as a sentence. Subordinating conjunctions are used to join dependent clauses to main clauses. An understanding of the different type of conjunctions, and how they are used, would help you understand the difference between dependent and independent clauses.
Nevertheless is tricky word to analyze. It is not an inference indicator, but is a subordinating conjunction. That means it used to join an independent clause with a dependent clause. The dependent clause is a statement whose meaning is incomplete without the driving clause. When writing a sentence with a subordinating conjunction there are two rules one must follow. If the sentence starts with the conjunction, the sentence requires a comma between the two clauses. If the sentence has the conjunction in the middle, then no comma is used (this is MUCH different from coordinating conjunctions like 'and,' but,' etc. Also, note that the dependent clause should not repeat the subject. John has homework to do nevertheless watches t.v. for 3 hours. Nevertheless watching t.v. for 3 hours, John has homework to do.
No. It is not a sentence, but a dependent clause.
That is simple sentence. (You should put a colon in front of the sentence instead of a period and quotation marks around it to make your question more clear for the reader.)
The use of a comma does not depend on the word, it depends on the sentence structure. At times a comma will follow 'which' and at other times it will not.
Yes, the term "Commerce Clause" should be capitalized in a sentence as it refers to a specific clause in the United States Constitution.
A complex sentence consists of an independent clause and a dependent clause joined together.An independent clause is a group of words that has a subject and a verb and is a complete thought. An independent clause can stand on its own as a sentence.A dependent clause is a group of words that has a subject and a verb but is not a complete thought and can't stand on its own as a sentence.Example complex sentences (dependent clause in bold):These are the flowers that mother likes.If you can, pick up some milk on your way.Cell phone reception is unreliable where John lives.The teacher who assigned the work should answer your question.
Yes, in most cases, a comma should be placed before "of whom" in a sentence. This comma is used to set off a dependent clause or phrase that is providing additional information about the subject.
