Complex sentences-
adverb clauses
The three golden words for adverb clauses:
‘because’ ‘if’ ‘when’
These three words are the most commonly used for adverb
clauses.
You can say a lot using ‘because’, ‘if’, and ‘when’.
e.g
Martia came to Canada as a refugee because there
is a war in her country.
-two clauses -independent
clause, main clause, simple sentence
-dependent
clause, subordinate clause
-clause- a group of words that has a S and V
Because there is a war in her country. fragment, casual
talking,ok
TWO WAYS TO DO THIS:
1.
Martia came to Canada as a refugee because
there is a war in her country.
2.
Because there is a war in Martia’s
country, she came to Canada as a refugee.
Old-fashioned rule: Don’t start a sentence with ‘because’.
It starts off your sentence weak. Not a grammar error. Not the best style.
‘if’
If it will rain rains tomorrow, I will not go to the park.
I will not go to the park if it rains tomorrow.
