1. Noun Clauses: These clauses function as a noun in the sentence. They can act as the subject, object, or complement of a verb or preposition.
* Example: *I know that you are right.* (The noun clause "that you are right" acts as the object of the verb "know".)
2. Adjective Clauses: These clauses modify a noun or pronoun, providing more information about it. They are often introduced by relative pronouns like "who," "which," "that," "whose," or "whom."
* Example: *The man who lives next door is a doctor.* (The adjective clause "who lives next door" modifies the noun "man.")
3. Adverb Clauses: These clauses modify a verb, adjective, or another adverb, providing information about time, place, manner, reason, purpose, or condition. They are often introduced by subordinating conjunctions like "because," "although," "when," "where," "since," "if," "unless," "until," "before," and "after."
* Example: *I will go to the party if you go too.* (The adverb clause "if you go too" modifies the verb "will go.")
