[00:00:00]Welcome dear students. Today we are going to learn about clause. A clause is a group of words that contains both a subject and a verb and gives a complete thought. There are two types of clauses, dependent and independent. An independent clause contains a subject and a verb and is a complete thought. It can stand alone as a sentence. While a dependent clause also contains a subject and a verb but does not express a complete thought. It cannot stand alone and depends on an independent clause.

[00:00:24]Mobeen obeys his teachers. In this sentence Mobeen is the subject while obeys is the verb. And it gives a complete thought so it is. If babies are hungry, it is a dependent clause because it doesn't complete the thought and requires an independent clause, they cry, to complete the thought. Every dependent clause starts with a subordinating conjunction that makes it an incomplete thought. You can see subordinating conjunctions on the screen. She cooks is an independent clause and if we say it with a subordinating conjunction like when she cooks, it becomes a dependent clause.

[00:00:55]Let's understand through another example. If you heat ice, it melts.

[00:00:59]Here, if you heat ice is a dependent clause and it melts is an independent clause. I hope this video will help you a lot understanding clause. Keep watching our videos and don't forget to follow our Facebook page, English with AI tutor. Thank you. Allah Hafiz.
