SELECT THE RIGHT GRAMATICAL NAME AND GRAMATICAL FUNCTION

1. The soldier who knew the area best led the search  A. Adjectival clause b. Adverbial Phrase c. Noun Clause D. Adjectival phrase

Answer : The answer is Adjectival Clause

Explanation : first thing you ask yourself is, is this a “clause” or “phrase“, how do you then know a clause from a phrase :

Clause are by default  group of words containing subject and a predicate (just mean it to be verb) e.g ” we abandoned the search” “as it was getting late”, clause actually are in two forms

• Main/independent clause: these are clauses that can stand on their own without the help of other words for it to make sense. Like that of the example above “we abandoned the search” is a clause which can stand on its own without anything and make sense of itself as in contrast with the second example “as it was getting” late which does not make any sense when if that was alone uttered to another person. Actually it sounds lunatic!
• Subordinates clause: these are clause that cannot stand on their own to make good meaning, most time the subordinate clause rely on the main clause to be meaningful like as that of the above  “as it was getting dark“, just imagine fixing it with the first clause there which is a main clause  so it’d become “we abandoned the search “as it was getting late”

while phrase on the other hand is by default a group of related word but which does not have a subject or predicate. E.g. “the Tall man”, “on the table”, “in the morning”

How do you then know that number 1 is A : firstly, ascertain the underlined or the one in bold is a clause,  I mean, if you check well you’d see a finite verb in the word if you read it all together, if so then you have a clause… Read more on clause and how to answer Grammatical name and Grammatical function.
