Combining Clauses
Unlock Audio Book
Signup and Enroll to the course for listening the Audio Book
In the chapter βReach for the Topβ in Beehive, you have read that two clauses in a sentence have their own subject and verb or verb phrase. One part of the sentence (or one clause) tells us why or when something happened. Examples:
- I read Sherlock Holmes while I was on holiday.
- It was raining heavily when I got home in the evening.
- I will phone you when I go to the clinic.
Detailed Explanation
In this chunk, we learn about clauses in sentence structure. A clause is a group of words that contains a subject and a verb. There are usually two types of clauses: independent and dependent. In the examples given, each clause can stand alone and conveys a complete thought. For instance, 'I read Sherlock Holmes' is independent, while 'while I was on holiday' adds more context to when that action occurred. Recognizing these clauses helps in understanding and forming complex sentences.
Examples & Analogies
Think of clauses like pieces of a puzzle. Each piece (or clause) has its own shape and picture (meaning), but when connected correctly, they form a complete image (a coherent sentence). Just as a puzzle can have different sections that fit together, a sentence can have clauses that fit together to convey a full idea.

- Match each of the sentence halves given below to make meaningful sentences.
- He was found guilty of driving
- when she tripped over.
- I get a pain in my knee
- when the mother left.
- The boy started to cry
- I switched on the emergency light.
- Rainy was walking along the
- when you cross my house.
- When the lights went out,
- while he was under the influence of alcohol.
- You will see the river
- when I walk up the stairs.
Detailed Explanation
This part involves matching the correct halves of sentences to create complete and meaningful thoughts. Each sentence has two parts: a condition and an event. For example, 'When the lights went out' relates to an action that occurs as a consequence of that condition. Understanding how to connect these parts can enhance writing and communication skills by helping to clarify relationships between events or conditions.
Examples & Analogies
Imagine youβre baking a cake. You have a recipe that tells you to βmix the flour and sugar together until smoothβ before βadding the eggs.β Both instructions are related but clarify what needs to happen first. Just like these sentences, one part leads to or is dependent on the other. If you donβt do these steps in order, you wonβt get the cake you want!
Combining Statements

- Make one sentence combining the two statements given below. Example:
- Itβs getting dark.
- Letβs go home before that.
- Letβs go home before it gets dark.
(a) She must clean the room.
- I wonβt enter the room until this is done.
(b) I will do the cooking.
- Then I will come to your house.
(c) I will go to the library.
- Then I will issue the book for you.
Detailed Explanation
This section teaches how to combine two separate statements into one cohesive sentence. The purpose of combining sentences is to enhance clarity and reduce redundancy in writing. Using conjunctions and phrases such as βuntilβ, βbeforeβ, and βthenβ, helps convey the relationship between the two actions clearly in one sentence. This skill not only improves writing efficiency but also enhances comprehension.
Examples & Analogies
Think of how you might share plans with a friend. Instead of saying, βI will go to the store. Then I will buy milk,β you can smoothly combine it by saying, βI will go to the store to buy milk.β Itβs like taking a long route and shortening it to a straight path β it just makes getting to your destination smoother!
