shadrach77: i know this topic has been treated once but i enjoyed it so much, so i thought we can revive it once again. There are some funny phrases used by Nigerian journalists. Here are some of them These sentences are not phrases and neither are the bolded words. Pls read the definition of a phrase and a clause below. To understand punctuation, it is helpful to understand the difference between a phrase and a clause . I. A phrase is a collection of words that may have nouns or verbals, but it does not have a subject doing a verb. The following are examples of phrases: leaving behind the dog smashing into a fence before the first test after the devastation between ignorance and intelligence broken into thousands of pieces because of her glittering smile In these examples above, you will find nouns (dog, fence, test, devastation, ignorance, intelligence, thousands, pieces). You also have some verbals ( leaving, smashing), but in no case is the noun functioning as a subject doing a predicate verb. They are all phrases. II . A clause is a collection of words that has a subject that is actively doing a verb. The following are examples of clauses: since she laughs at diffident men I despise individuals of low character when the saints go marching in Obediah Simpson is uglier than a rabid raccoon because she smiled at him. In the examples above, we find either a noun or a pronoun that is a subject (bold-print and red) attached to a predicate verb (underlined and purple) in each case: since she laughs at diffident men I despise individuals of low character when the saints go marching in Obediah Simpson is uglier than a rabid raccoon because she smiled at him III. If the clause could stand by itself, and form a complete sentence with punctuation, we call the clause an independent clause . The following are independent clauses: I despise individuals of low character Obediah Simpson is uglier than a rabid racoon We could easily turn independent clauses into complete sentences by adding appropriate punctuation marks. We might say, "I despise individuals of low character." Or we might write, "Obediah Simpson is uglier than a rabid racoon!" We call them independent because these types of clauses can stand independently by themselves, without any extra words attached, and be complete sentences. IV. Dependent clauses have a subject doing a verb, but they have a subordinate conjunction placed in front of the clause. That subordinate conjunction means that the clause can't stand independently by itself and become a complete sentence. Instead, the dependent clause is dependent upon another clause--it can't make a complete sentence by itself, even though it has a subject doing a verb. Here are some examples of dependent clauses: since she laughs at diffident men when the saints go marching in because she smiled at him These clauses simply do not form complete thoughts or sentences by themselves. Those subordinate conjunctions-- since , when , and because-- cause the listener to expect some extra material. The thought is incomplete. If you walked up to a friend in the dorms and said, "since she laughs at diffident men," and then walked away without adding an independent clause, the friend would be completely baffled. It's important to understand the difference between phrases, dependent clauses, and independent clauses because many punctuation marks--such as commas, semicolons, and colons, require one or the other. 12 Likes |
