Overview

Students review independent and dependent clauses, and practice classifiying them as adjective clauses, adverb clauses, and noun clauses. The students' knowledge of clause structure is also applied to sentence structure as they review sentences as simple, compound, complex, or compound-complex. Serious errors in sentence structure, such as fragments, comma splices, and fused sentences, are also examined.
