Clausen :: Clausewitz,_Karl_von
 

A clause is a part of a sentence. Each clause has only one main verb.

I love you is a sentence which has only one clause.

I love you and I will always love you is a sentence which has two clauses. The two clauses are I love you and I will always love you. These clauses are joined together by the word and (a conjunction).

You can also join two clauses with a pronoun. For example: I live in London, which is in England. Here, I live in London is the first clause, and which is in England is the second clause. The word which is a pronoun which takes the place of London. It joins the two clauses.

A sentence can contain many clauses. But sentences with fewer clauses are easier to understand.
