A clause is a group of words that includes a subject and a verb. Connectives like "and", "while", and "because" are used to join clauses to create complex sentences.
Types of connectors: Coordinating conjunctions: These connect two independent clauses. Some examples include "and", "but", "or", "yet", "so", "for", and "nor". Subordinating conjunctions: These attach a dependent clause to an independent clause. Independent marker words: These are used as connectors at the beginning of an independent clause. Relative pronouns: These are used as connectors to combine two sentences into one. Some examples include "who", "whom", "whose", "where", "when", "which", "that", and "why".
