CLAUSE, PHRASE, AND SENTENCES

Image Credit: https://cetking.com/clauses-and-phrases/

Phrases, Clauses and Sentences are the most important structural units of language. They provide structure and
meaning to almost all the languages. The phrases and clauses provide a sense to a sentence. Here we will discuss this
and learn about what makes up sentence structures as well as the rules that are involved in writing sentences correctly.

This reviewer was prepared by the Student Alliance Officers of PSHS-WVC. The institution and the SA reserve the rights to the materials and examples.
I. PHRASES: A phrase is a group of related words which don’t make complete sense. If taken alone, without
other words, it will not be meaningful. These may add variety to sentences when included.

Examples:
● “in ten steps” – what is it about? What ten steps? It did not
give a clear message
● “the great man”
● “a pink flower”
● “the thick canopy”
● “a big lato-lato”
● “jumbo hotdog”

Phrases are of several types:


1. Prepositional phrase – This group of words begins with a preposition, which is followed by a noun or
a pronoun.
a. Examples:
i. I am leaving in ten minutes.
ii. She was lost at sea.
iii. I am writing this letter for my family.

2. Noun phrase – This is a phrase that acts as a noun in a sentences. A noun or a pronoun and its
modifiers make up a noun phrase.
a. Examples:
i. The man rides a jeepney every day to work.
ii. Andy has a very beautiful bag.
iii. The little fluffy puppy is ready to be adopted.
3. Verb Phrase – This phrase will contain a main verb and one or more helping verb. These two will
have a link that connects them together. This phrase will define the various times of the action in a
sentence.
a. Examples:
i. The car is moving very fast.
ii. I was reading the newspaper.
iii. We must go to the hospital now.

II. CLAUSES: A clause is a group of words, but this contains a subject and a predicate. Hence, it can make
complete sense, even when not used in a sentence.
Examples:
● I have a dog.
● The snow is falling since yesterday.

This reviewer was prepared by the Student Alliance Officers of PSHS-WVC. The institution and the SA reserve the rights to the materials and examples.
Clauses are of two main types:

Image source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ycPr9CpMVc

1. Independent Clause (IC) – Clauses that make independent statements are called independent or coordinate
clauses. The independent clause forms a complete sentence by itself. They are also referred to as principal
clauses when used with subordinate clauses.
2. Subordinate/Dependent Clause (DC) – Clauses that don’t make sense on their own. They depend on other
parts of the sentence.

a. Examples:
It was he who helped me get my confidence back.
IC DC
It is imperative that you keep your promise.
IC DC

III. SENTENCES: A group of words which shows a complete thought. The definition is also sometimes put as a
collection or group of words that make sense to a reader.
Examples:
I did not like her at first.
I began to see how she truly was.
I started to like her.

Essential Elements of a Sentence
Every sentence has a subject and a predicate. The subject may or may not be expressed but the predicate is
always expressed.

1. The Subject
→ part of the sentence which names a person, a place or a thing about which the sentence is made.
→ what is being discussed or spoken about in the sentence.
→ The subject with all its modifiers is called the complete subject.

2. The Predicate
→ part of the sentence which tells us something about the subject.
→ The predicate with all its modifiers and complements is called the complete predicate.

Examples:
● She is my mother.
● My brother’s dog barks a lot.
● The jeep leaves every morning.
● She likes to play lato-lato.
● He likes to play soccer.
● Children are gifts.
● Good and behaved children are gifts from God.

Natural Order and Transposed Order in sentences


1. Natural Order – Whenever the complete predicate follows the complete subject, a sentence is in the natural
order.

Example: Blackpink is such a talented girl group.


Subjec Subject Predicate

This reviewer was prepared by the Student Alliance Officers of PSHS-WVC. The institution and the SA reserve the rights to the materials and examples.
2. Transposed Order
Whenever the complete predicate or part of the predicate is placed before the subject, a sentence is
in transposed order.

Example:
Up flew the kite.
At home played the kids.
Down the street were the lato-lato players.
Predicate Subject

Compound Elements of A Sentence


1. Compound Subject
If the subject of the sentence consists of more than one noun or pronoun, it is said to be a
compound subject.
Example: Lisa and Jennie take a trip to the Philippines.
2. Compound Predicate
If the predicate consists of more than one verb, it is said to be a compound predicate.
Example: Jungkook sat on the couch and played roblox.

Types of Sentences
1. Based on how it is used:
a. A declarative sentence is a sentence that relays information.
(ends with a period)
Example: My new phone is silver.
b. An interrogative sentence is a sentence that asks a question.
(ends with a question mark) Many interrogative sentences begin with who,
what, when, where, why, or how.
Example: When do you want to watch a movie?
c. An imperative sentence is a sentence that expresses a command or a
request.
(ends with a period)
Example: Don’t go there alone at night. Please sit down.
d. An exclamatory sentence is a sentence that expresses sudden or strong
emotion. (ends with a question mark)
Example: Sara, stop playing lato-lato!

2. Based on Form
a. A simple sentence is a sentence containing one subject and one predicate,
either or both of which, may be compound.
Example: Jungkook and Taehyung went to Disneyland.
b. A compound sentence is a sentence that contains two or more independent clauses.
Example: Jungkook and Taehyung went to Disneyland, and they rode all the fun rides at the
amusement park.
c. A complex sentence is a sentence that contains one principal clause and one or more
subordinate clauses.
Example: The concert, which will happen next week, is sold out.

Punctuation Marks

Image Source: https://www.pinterest.ph/pin/125186064627224612/

1. Period (.) – It is mostly used to mark the end of a sentence and express a statement.
Example: He is going to a shop.
2. Question Mark (?) – A question mark is used at the end of a sentence when you are attempting to
get information or asking a question.
Example: Where are you going?
3. comma (,) – shows a division between sentence or putting oof a word, phrase, or clause
Example: I love him so much, but he does not like me.
4. Exclamation Mark (!) – It points out strong emotions such as shouting or expressing joy.
Example: Yay! I won the Mobile Legends tournament.
5. Apostrophe ( ‘ ) – used to show ownership or when leaving out letters
Example: I’m planning to play Roblox tomorrow.
This is her sister’s room.
6. Quotation Mark (“ ”) – used in pairs to present quotes or phrases spoken by certain people or to
present a title of a book, movie, etc.
Example: He said, “please bring a cup of tea”.

IV. SUBJECT - VERB AGREEMENT :

Verbs have a singular and a plural form. When using a verb in a


sentence, pay attention to the subject-verb agreement. This means,
that the subject and the verb must agree in number.
Image Source: https://www.pinterest.ph/pin/125186064627224612/

This reviewer was prepared by the Student Alliance Officers of PSHS-WVC. The institution and the SA reserve the rights to the materials and examples.
1. If a subject is singular (Name, He, She, It), the verb must be singular.
Present tense:
a. Add an “s” at the end of the verb
b. Add an “es” if the verb ends in s
c. If the word ends in y and a consonant comes before the y:
→ Change y to i and add es.
Example:
● Sarah walks around the block.
● Joe eats spaghetti and meatballs.
● The cat plays with the yarn.
● She studies at the library.
● He is the oldest out of all the siblings.
● Jisoo is the prettiest kpop idol.
● She has a lato-lato.

2. If a subject is plural (We, They, etc.) the verb must be plural.


a. Do not add s or es.
Example:
● Sarah and Molly walk around the block.
● Joe and Marcus eat spaghetti and meatballs.
● The cats play with the yarn.
● We study at the library.
● They have experience presenting in class.
● They are playing lato-lato.

3. If the subject is I, the verb must be plural. We also use the linking verb “am” for this.
Example:
● I play LOL with my friends every Saturday.
● I am the oldest out of all my siblings.
4. If the subject is You, the verb must be plural .
Example:
● You work at my favorite restaurant.
● You are the best!
5. For simple past tense verbs, the verb form is the same for singular and plural subjects,
Example:
● He played Roblox with his friends yesterday.
● They played lato-lato at my house.
● You ran at the marathon.
6. Plural looking nouns
Subjects such as Mathematics, Civics, Politics, Economics, News, are singular and use a singular verb.
Example: Mathematics is fun.
7. Other verbs:
a. We use “was” for singular subjects and “were” for plural subjects.
Example:
I/He/She was the smartest in my class.
We/They were the smartest students.
You were the smartest student.
b. We use “had” for plural subjects, while “has” for singular subjects.

This reviewer was prepared by the Student Alliance Officers of PSHS-WVC. The institution and the SA reserve the rights to the materials and examples.
Example:
I/You/We/They had never been late to class.
He/She has never been late to class.

c. We use “went” and “did” for all subjects, singular or plural.


Example:
They went to the market.
I went to school with my friends.
She did her homework.
They did the new Tiktok challenge.
