TP 3 Phrases, Clauses, Sentences and Moods

The last time in class there was not enough time to answer your questions, 
so I'm discussing them here :

- The difference between a Phrase and a Clause

- Types of Sentences

- Subjunctive and Indicative moods in adverb clauses.

First I'd like to talk about Phrase and Clause Comparison

A clause is  a group of related words that contains a subject and a verb.
 

                                e.g. he left.


A phrase is a group of related words that does not contain a subject and a verb.
 

                                e.g. at the store.


Let's look at the following example.

                              He is laughing at the clown.

The sentence above has two parts, “he is laughing” and “at the clown”.

The first part of the sentence “he is laughing” is a clause because it has a subject (he) and a verb (is laughing). The second part of the sentence “at the clown” is a phrase because it does not contain subject and verb.

Now.....about Types of Sentences, to save time, 
I'd like you to click HERE so you will be taken to a great site.
There you can read the clear explanation about Sentence Types.

And the third one is about the "Moods"....please click HERE to read all about it. There you will read about all kinds of "Moods".

You will see that the Indicative Mood states facts, describes what happens, or gives details about reality...while the Subjunctive Mood indicates a hypothetical state or a state contrary to reality, such as a wish, a desire, or an imaginary situation.

We will discuss this again when we meet in class...
feel free to ask questions tomorrow, Okay !

PS. I am embedding a video about English Sentence Structure below, 
I hope it could be of help to you ....
