Here's a breakdown:
* Subject: The person, place, thing, or idea that the sentence is about.
* Verb: The action or state of being of the subject.
Examples:
* The cat sat on the mat. (Subject: cat; Verb: sat)
* The children laughed loudly. (Subject: children; Verb: laughed)
* She is happy. (Subject: She; Verb: is)
Types of Clauses:
* Independent Clause: A complete sentence that can stand alone. It has a subject and a verb and expresses a complete thought.
* Dependent Clause: A group of words that contains a subject and verb but cannot stand alone as a complete sentence. It depends on an independent clause for its meaning.
