Si vas a estudiar la gramática de inglés, vas a ver muchas palabras gramaticales. Por lo tanto, quisiera hablar un poco de la palabra “clause” (cláusula).

Una cláusula es un grupo de palabras que contiene un sustantivo y un verbo. Hay dos tipos de cláusulas, independiente y dependiente. Las independientes tienen otro nombre familiar, “sentence” (oración). Las dependientes no son oraciones porque tienen que relacionarse con una cláusula independiente. Normalmente las cláusulas dependientes son introducidas por una conjunción de subordinación. Algunas muy comunes son: because (porque), although (aunque), unless (a menos que), y even though (aunque). Hablaré más de este tema en el futuro.

Relacione las cláusulas en I con las cláusulas en II para formar cinco oraciones.
