* Independent Clauses: These are complete sentences that can stand alone. They contain a subject and a verb and express a complete thought. For example, "The cat sat on the mat."
* Dependent Clauses: These are clauses that cannot stand alone and require an independent clause to make a complete sentence. They often start with subordinating conjunctions like "because," "although," "when," etc. For example, "because the cat was tired."
* Phrases: These are groups of words that function as a single unit but do not contain a subject and verb. For example, "the cat on the mat."
It is possible you are thinking of a specific type of word or grammatical function that uses a different terminology. Could you please clarify your question?
For example, perhaps you are looking for:
* Conjunctions: Words that connect words, phrases, or clauses.
* Prepositions: Words that show the relationship between a noun or pronoun and another word in the sentence.
* Adverbs: Words that modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs.
* Interjections: Words that express strong emotions or feelings.
