A Determiner determines the noun. An Article is a particular type of determiner and is always used with and gives some information about a noun. There are three articles: a, an and the.
A clause is a group of words which does contain a verb; it is part of a sentence. There are two kinds of clauses: 1. A main clause (makes sense on its own) e.g.: Sue bought a new dress. 2. A subordinate clause (does not make sense on its own; it depends on the main clause for its meaning). E.g.: Sue bought a new dress when she went shopping.*‘when she went shopping’ is the subordinate clause as it would not make sense without the main clause. A phrase is a group of words which does not make complete sense on its own and does not contain a verb; it is not a complete sentence: e.g.: up the mountain
Relative Clauses Relative clauses give more information about nouns. They start with a relative pronoun – that, which, who, whose OR a relative adverb – where or when. e.g. We caught our bus, which is the last one of the day.
Passive voice Sentences are either Active or Passive. An Active sentence has the subject doing something to the object. e.g. The boy kicked the ball. In a Passive sentence the object has something done to it by the subject. e.g. The ball was kicked by the boy. Passive voice tends to be used more in Formal writing such as reports or newspaper articles.
The subjunctive The subjunctive form of a verb refers to what someone hopes or wishes may happen. Again, it is more often used in more formal writing such as argument or balanced reports. e.g. If I were you, I would listen to this.
