Question 21 • English Language Arts 10

Which examples are clauses? Choose three correct answers.

Answer
A
tearing through the town
B
whenever I go to the movies
C
after the end of the school year
D
Samir lives on Green Street.
E
but it’s likely to rain that day

Explanation

A clause has a subject and a verb. “Whenever I go to the movies” has the subject “I” and the verb “go,” even though it cannot stand alone as a complete sentence. “But it’s likely to rain that day” has the subject “it” and the verb “is,” and “Samir lives on Green Street” has the subject “Samir” and the verb “lives.” The other choices are phrases without a subject and verb working together.
