EAP 145 - HU, Weili - Week 2 2/3

When I went to EAP 145, I found I have some troubles on how to use about subordinate word groups;  therefore, I review the bedford.Although subordinate clauses are patterned like sentences, and they function sentences as adjectives, adverbs or complements, they can still not stand alone as complete sentences.  People always use subordinate clauses to describe something that is hard to explain in a simple word.  For example, the homework that I just finished is quiet difficult for my brother.  In this sentence, the subordinate that I just finished is used to describe the subject homework.  This kind of subordinate clauses functions as adjectives; therefore, we also call it adjective clauses.  Moreover, the other two types of subordinate clauses are called adverb clauses and noun clauses, and they function as adverbs and nouns.  Getting used to recognize them in a sentence can make us much easier to use them correctly.
