Key Words: Define the following in your own words
Dependent clause
Inverted
Prepositional phrase

Answer 7

Sure! Here are simplified definitions for each term:

1. Dependent clause: A group of words that has a subject and a verb but cannot stand alone as a complete sentence. It relies on an independent clause to make sense. For example, “because he was tired” is a dependent clause.

2. Inverted: When the usual order of words in a sentence is switched around. For example, instead of saying “The dog barks,” an inverted version would be “Barks the dog.” It often emphasizes a particular part of the sentence or is used in questions.

3. Prepositional phrase: A group of words that starts with a preposition and includes a noun or pronoun (the object of the preposition). For example, in the phrase “under the table,” “under” is the preposition, and “the table” is the object. Prepositional phrases often provide additional information about location, time, or relationships.
