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
Martia came to Canada as a refugee because of the
war in her country. SIMPLE
-clause- a group of words that has a S and V
Because there is a war in her country. fragment, casual
talking, not good for writing
Because the bus broke down. casual talking
I was late because the bus broke down. writing
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.
Martia came to Canada as a refugee because there
is a war in her country.
Martia came to Canada as a refugee as there is a
war in her country.
‘as’ is rarely used, grammr booky
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’
I will not go to the park if it rains tomorrow.
If it rains tomorrow, I will not go to the park.
An dependent clause needs a independent clause to be a sentence.
independent clause- mother
dependent clause- child
if you want
Let’s go downtown if you want.
AVOID STARTING YOUR SENTENCES WITH LONG DEPENDENT CLAUSES: If
the Bank of Canada continues to raise interest rates in an effort to curb
inflation on core goods and services such as groceries, gas, and rent,
consumers will be forced to continue tightening their belts.
Friendlier to the reader. They get the main idea first.
Consumers will be forced to continue tightening their belts if
the Bank of Canada continues to raise interest rates in an effort to curb
inflation on core goods and services such as groceries, gas, and rent.
IDIOM tighten your belt- spend less money
The prices of groceries has shot up in the past year, so we
have had to tighten our belts.
-when- time
Your breakfast will be ready for you when you get up.
When you get up, your breakfast will be ready for you.
The three most high-frequency words: because if when
We use high-frequency words a lot. We use low-frequency words
not so often.
Now let’s learn 24 more!
Learning these will expand your ability to express your
thoughts more clearly and precisely in English. When you learn these other
words, you will be a rock star in your English class.
