Describe a dependent clause

A dependent clause, also known as a subordinate clause, is a group of words that contains a subject and a verb but cannot stand alone as a complete sentence. It relies on the main clause to make sense. It usually starts with a subordinating conjunction like "because," "although," or "when." For example, in the sentence "Because it was raining, we stayed indoors," the dependent clause is "Because it was raining."

Describe a main clause

A main clause, also known as an independent clause, is a group of words that contains a subject and a verb and can stand alone as a complete sentence. It expresses a complete thought and does not rely on other clauses to make sense. For example, in the sentence ""Because it was raining, we stayed indoors," the main clause is "We stayed indoors."

What's the difference between an adjective and an adverb:

An adjective describes a noun, while an adverb describes a verb, an adjective, or another adverb. Adjectives give us more information about the noun, like its color, size, or quality. Adverbs, on the other hand, tell us more about the action, such as how, when, where, or to what extent it happened. So, while adjectives describe nouns, adverbs describe verbs and provide more details about the action.

Describe adjective

An adjective is a word that describes or modifies a noun. It adds more detail and color to the sentences.

Describe adverb

An adverb is a word that describes or modifies a verb, an adjective, or another adverb. It adds more information about how, when, where, or to what extent something happens. It's like adding an extra layer of detail to the sentences.

Describe subject-verb agreement

Subject-verb agreement refers to the grammatical rule that states that the subject and verb of a sentence must agree in number. For example, if the subject is singular, the verb should also be singular. It keeps our sentences grammatically correct.
