    This seminar report discusses phrases, clauses, relative pronouns, and relative clauses in English grammar. It defines phrases as groups of words that form a conceptual unit within a sentence but lack a subject and verb. Clauses are defined as containing both a subject and a verb. There are two types of clauses: independent clauses that can stand alone as sentences, and dependent clauses that provide additional information but cannot stand alone. Relative pronouns like who, which, and that are used to connect clauses or phrases to nouns or pronouns. Finally, relative clauses beginning with relative pronouns provide extra information about a noun and can be either defining or nondefining.

    WHAT IS PHRASE

    A small group of words standing


    together as a conceptual unit,
    typically forming a component of a
    clause.
    WHAT IS THE USE OF PHRASE

    A phrase is a group or words that


    express a concept and is used as a
    unit within a sentence.
    WHY PHRASES ARE IMPORTANT
    Words are the smallest units of a language that have
    meaning, whereas phrases are words that have distinct
    meanings as groups, which the component words
    themselves cannot convey. So, for the English language
    learner, learning phrases will be more meaningful and
    useful than just learning words by themselves.
    EXAMPLE OF PHRASE
    i) Try to do it again and again.
    ii) Hercules was a man of great strength.
    iii) I met him on the road.

    From this examples we can see that there is no verb


    or subject.
    WHAT IS CLAUSE
    A clause is the basic building block of a sentence, by
    definition, it must contain a subject and a verb.
    EXAMPLES OF CLAUSE
    i) This is the boy who stood first.
    ii) I shall not go if it rains.

    From this example we can find that there is a verb


    and subject in the sentences.
    TYPES OF CLAUSE
    There are two types of clauses which are:

    i) Independent Clause
    ii) Dependent Clause
    INDEPENDENT CLAUSE
    Independent Clause is a clause that can stand by
    itself as a simple sentence.

    In independent clause there are two sub-clauses:


    a) Main Clause
    b) Principle Clause
    DEPENDENT CLAUSE
    Dependent Clause is a clause that provides a
    sentence element with additional information, but
    which cannot stand alone as a sentence.

    In independent clause there is one sub-clause:


    a) Subordinate Clause
    EXAMPLES OF DIFFERENT TYPES OF CLAUSES

    a) Tara ate the chasse roll after she watched the news.

    In this sentence ‘Tara ate the chasse roll’ is


    independent clause and ‘she watched the news’ is
    dependent clause.
    RELATIVE PRONOUN
    A relative pronoun is used to connect a
    clause or phrase to a noun or pronoun.
    TYPES OF RELATIVE PRONOUN
    Types of relative pronouns:
    •Who
    •Which
    •Whom
    •When
    •Where
    •Whose
    •That
    USES OF RELATIVE PRONOUN
    Who and Whom (for person)

    For example:
    i) The thief who stole my purse was caught.
    ii) He is the man whom I helped.
    USES OF RELATIVE PRONOUN
    Which (for things and animals)

    For example:
    i) Please give me the book which is mine.
    ii) This is the dog which bit me.
    USES OF RELATIVE PRONOUN
    Whose and That (for person and things)

    For example:
    i) He is the man whose daughter passed IAS
    last year.
    ii) The man that you meet in the market is
    my neighbour.
    RELATIVE CLAUSE
    Relative clauses are clauses starting with
    the relative pronouns who, that, which,
    whose, where, when.
    TYPES OF RELATIVE CLAUSE
    i) Defining Clause: A Defining relative clause
    usually comes immediately after the noun it
    describes.
    Example: The woman visited me in the
    hospital was very kind.
    ii) Nondefining Clause: It adds extra
    information to the sentence but the
    sentence still has the same meaning.
    Example: The author, who is 86, lives in
    Paris.
