11 6 Complete English Basics 2 Language What is a clause? A clause is a group of words expressing a complete thought. A clause contains a subject and a verb. Clauses are often joined together to form sentences. The following sentence is made up of a main clause and two dependent clauses. Owls are able to catch small animals because they have strong night vision, which enables them to see in the dark. Dependent clause (The first dependent clause begins with the conjunction because and the second with the relative pronoun which.) Main clauses A main clause (also called a principal clause or independent clause) contains a verb and a subject. It usually makes sense on its own and may also form a complete sentence in itself. A burst of lightning lit up the sea. It very often combines with other main and dependent clauses to form sentences. Main clause Falcons are not huge birds, but they can fly very fast. Please note: in the above sentence the two main clauses are joined by the coordinating conjunction but. Dependent (subordinate) clauses A dependent clause (also known as a subordinate clause) is a group of words that has both a subject and a verb, but it cannot stand alone as a sentence. It is not able to function by itself. It usually begins with a conjunction or a relative pronoun, as seen in the dependent clauses in bold below. Dark clouds scudded across the horizon as the storm approached. The old man, who was smiling happily, hugged his grandchild. Identifying clauses Main clause Conjunction Main clause Dependent clause Identify the clauses as set out in each example. 1 When he was nearly thirteen, my brother Jem got his arm badly broken at the elbow. from To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee Dependent clause: When he was nearly thirteen Main clause: my brother Jem got his arm badly broken at the elbow

Main clause 1: Main clause 2: Once upon a time there were four little rabbits their names were Flopsy, Mopsy, Cotton-tail and Peter from The Tale of Peter Rabbit by Beatrix Potter 5 When Mr Bilbo Baggins of Bag End announced that he would shortly be celebrating his eleventy-first birthday with a party of special magnificence, there was much talk and excitement in Hobbiton.

13 8 Complete English Basics 2 Punctuation How well do you punctuate? Imagine where we d be without punctuation. We d have no sentences or paragraphs. There would be no capital letters to tell us where to begin a sentence, no full stops to tell us where to end one, and no commas to tell us where to pause. There would just be a never-ending block of print or writing. Reading a book, newspaper or magazine would be intolerable. To give you an idea of what it would be like, here is a dramatic paragraph taken from the classic novel Swiss Family Robinson by Johann Rudolf Wyss. Your task is to rewrite the paragraph adding capital letters, full stops and commas. The number of sentences that you need to use is indicated in the brackets at the end. Encounter with a boa constrictor after the donkey ran from the beach it arrived at the lair of the snake and stopped although the donkey realised its danger it could not move the poor animal should have fled but it stood fascinated and uttered a low groan the boa its hungry jaws wide open approached steadily until it was within striking distance the donkey could not move because it was paralysed with fear it gazed at the monster that quickly wound its long scaly body around him and then suffocated him in the horrible embrace we shuddered as we looked at the fearful sight (seven sentences) from Swiss Family Robinson by Johann Rudolf Wyss After the donkey ran from the beach, it arrived at the lair of the snake and stopped. Although the donkey realised its danger, it could not move. The poor animal should have fled, but it stood fascinated and uttered a low groan. The boa, its hungry jaws wide open, approached steadily until it was within striking distance. The donkey could not move because it was paralysed with fear. It gazed at the monster that quickly wound its long scaly body around him and then suffocated him in the horrible embrace. We shuddered as we looked at the fearful sight. The craft of writing The graphic novel A graphic novel is a novel in a comic-strip format. It is a long story told in pictures and words. It features: panels comprising words and pictures that show action and movement to develop the story gutters, which are the spaces between the panels speech balloons that enclose the dialogue caption boxes containing information about a scene or character visual sound effects using special lettering and onomatopoeia (e.g. kapow! ). 7 marks
14 1 Images and words 9 Creating graphic novel panels Many famous novels have been changed into graphic novels. Here are two panels from a graphic novel derived from Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson. Notice how the combination of words and images brings the story to life. Now try your hand at converting an incident or scene from a novel, poem or story you have been reading. Four panels are provided for you to use.
