Question

which examples are clauses? select three options. whenever i go to the movies samir lives on green street. tearing through the town but it’s likely to rain that day after the end of the school year

Explanation:

A clause must have a subject and a predicate (a verb or verb phrase).

• "whenever I go to the movies": Has subject "I" and verb "go", so it's a clause (subordinate clause).
• "Samir lives on Green Street": Has subject "Samir" and verb "lives", so it's a clause (independent clause).
• "tearing through the town": Is a phrase (participle phrase) with no subject - predicate structure, not a clause.
• "but it's likely to rain that day": Has subject "it" and verb phrase "is likely", so it's a clause (independent clause with conjunction).
• "after the end of the school year": Is a prepositional phrase, no subject - predicate, not a clause.

Answer:

A. whenever I go to the movies
B. Samir lives on Green Street
D. but it's likely to rain that day
