Conjunction is Theoretical Grammar

Conclusion

use different types of subordinate clauses to give their language complexity and stylistic variety. A clause, in general, is a group of words that contains a subject and a verb, while a subordinate clause is a clause that cannot stand on its own as a complete sentence. Instead, it takes the place of a single noun or acts as a modifier for the sentence. Subordinate clauses are also called dependent clauses, because they are dependent on the rest of the sentence.study focuses on the occurrence of grammatical subordination strategies and patterns of inter-clausal relations as they are used in interactional language within the mentioned differing text types of written and spoken English. The aim of this study was to investigate the frequency of occurrence of different types of subordinate clauses as well as the form-function dichotomy in the syntax of four text types. As D. Hudson-Ettle assumes, variation in linguistic performance is determined by the choices made by the speakers/writers of the discourse and that these choices may be the result of a variety of influencing factors.of syntactic strategy may differ in each of the examined text type, which can be only investigated if grammatical descriptions of a large amount of comparable language data are available.Clause:
· Contains both a subject and a verb
· Incomplete thought-cannot stand alone as a sentence
· Connected to the independent clause with a subordinating conjunction or relative pronoun.Conjunctions: after, although, as, as if, as long as, as soon as, as though, because, before, even though, if, in order that, once, provided that, since, so that, than, though, unless, until, when, whenever, where, whilePronouns: that, how, what, who, whom, which, whichever, whoever, whomever, whose, whether, why
) Adverb Subordinate Clause
· Modifies verbs, adjectives, or adverbs.
· Begins with a subordinating conjunction.
· Location-anywhere, usually before or after independent clause.
· Punctuation Rules: If it opens sentence, use a comma; if inside sentence, a comma is usually unnecessary.
) Adjective Subordinate Clause
· Modifies nouns or pronouns.
· Begins with a relative pronoun.
· Location-always follows the noun it modifies
· Punctuation Rules: If essential (noun is general), do not use commas; if inessential (noun is specific), use commas.
) Noun Subordinate Clause
· Functions as a noun.
· Begins with a relative pronoun.
· Punctuation Rules: No comma unless it is an appositive., we have analyzed main aspects of different types of subordinate clauses and their functioning in Modern English.
