Section One: Structure ~ Clauses using ¡°Before¡± and ¡°After¡± ~ Discuss

 

Form: Clauses are groups of words with a subject and verb.

 

Independent clauses are sentences: I have coffee.

 

Dependent clauses are not sentences: after I go shopping

 

They can be joined together in two ways:

 

1) I have coffee after I go shopping. (no comma)

2) After I go shopping, I have coffee. (comma)

 

You can make questions as well, in the same two ways:

 

1) Do you have coffee before you go shopping? (no comma)

2) Before you go shopping, do you have coffee? (comma)
