CLAUSE ANALYSIS

Posted by Gomathi Venkatasubramanian on

Now let us first begin with a sentence.(Sentence is a group of words which make sense.)

1) She is a beautiful girl.
In this sentence ‘beautiful’ is an adjective,

Now see this sentence.

2) She is a girl of great beauty.
In this sentence ‘of great beauty’ is an adjective phrase.(Phrase is a group of words depicting one meaning).

Let us see this sentence.

3) She is a girl who is beautiful.
In this sentence ‘who is beautiful’ is a Clause. (A Clause is a group of words with a subject and a predicate.)

Look at the 3^rd sentence carefully. She is a girl can stand alone but who is beautiful cannot stand alone. It needs the support of the first part of the sentence.

Now we shall divide this sentence into 2 parts. She is a girl /who is beautiful. The second part of the sentence needs the support of the first part.

The result is;

She is a girl—Main Clause

Who is beautiful—Subordinate  Clause.

Now this subordinate clause  says something more about the noun ‘girl’ in the Main Clause.
A word that says something more about a noun is an Adjective and so a clause that says something more is known as an Adjective Clause.

Some more examples of sentences with this Clause;
a)     The man who is fat is my grandfather.
b)    Raja likes movies that are directed by Manirathnam.
c)     The stone which shines the most is the diamond.

I hope you have tried to understand the concept of the Clause Analysis.

We shall see all the types of Clauses one by one.

Try to analyse the sentences given into Main Clause and Subordinate Clause.

Tips for Final Revision of CBSE – 2010 Board Exams

Posted by TCYonline.com on February 9, 2010

It’s time for your upcoming final exams of CBSE – 2010. You all could be nervous about it. Every student has a different way of studying. Some students may actually do better while listening to music or studying outdoors; others find these environments distracting. Although preparation for the CBSE board exams should begin on the first day of the semester, there are many things students can do, to maximize their final scores:

1.    Students should divide their time according to their daily tasks especially when they are preparing for board exams.
2.    There should be a break after every 2 hours of studying.
3.    There should be refreshments in the breaks they take in their study schedules.
4.    Cell phones and other such devices should be turned- off. So that you should not get distracted when you are preparing for CBSE board exams.
5.    The student should be out of earshot of any computers, televisions etc.
6.    The place to study should be quiet and devoid of any distractions.
7.    Every hard or uninteresting subject/topic should be followed by any easy or an interesting subject/topic.
8.    Students should avoid doing ‘at stretch’ studies.

So, a planned study time-frame can minimize the stress and feelings of panic that may occur when you only have a few days before the exams.
