Can you compose a Subway sentence for each of the above words?
MAIN CLAUSE
SUB CLAUSE
Dreaming of gold, he ran like the wind.
He ran like the wind dreaming of gold.
He ran, dreaming of gold, like the wind.
TASK 2 – USING COMMAS
THE COMMA RULES
If the sub-clause is first, the comma goes
next;
If the sub-clause is last, no comma in the
text
(most of the time!).
If the sub-clause is in the middle, comma
either side…
Otherwise you’re ruled offside!
