Abstract:
A clause is a sentence or a part of sentence having a subject and a principal verb; it may express a complete thought or may not. But, a sentence is a group of words arranged orderly, and it has a complete thought. Clause and sentence are interrelated with each other. It is really quite impossible to decide whether a sentence is simple, complex or compound without having much idea about clause. Correspondingly, getting complete idea about whether a clause is main or subordinate without having idea about sentence is also not possible. Even, it is somewhat a difficult task for an instructor to teach sentence or clause in a classroom unconnectedly or independently. At the time of discussing the types of sentences, the teacher must talk about clause. Likewise, an educator must confer sentences when he or she teaches clause in a classroom. This paper aims at discussing types of clauses and sentences in details, and showing their interrelationship.
