I like how when the video ends, it freezes on where it ended instead of restarting. It's usually on parts where I need to reread something because it includes important information, or somewhere that I should probably take notes on. Not sure if it's intentional, but it's great!
noun + verb = clause (all clauses are not sentences; all sentences contain at least one clause)
clause = simple sentence ( independent clauses (includes subject and verb) are complete thoughts, hence, can be complete sentences (multiple independent clauses (contains noun and verb) can be in one sentence, forming a complex sentence. However, an dependent clause contains a subject and a verb but itself cannot act as a sentence. I.e.,”because he smelled” or “before we go” yes, they contain a noun and a verb, but they need another clause to form a sentence, I.e., “We ran away because he smelled” or “Tell him you love him before we go”)
Complex sentences can contain many clauses. (At it’s very basic sense, a complex sentence by definition is one that contains at least a independent clause and dependent clause, these are kind of like “simple complex sentences. I.e., When the oven heats to 150 (dependent clause),(clauses are usually spreader by a comma) make sure you start preparing the cake (independent clause).)(Complex sentences can also have 2 independent clauses: “I couldn’t believe what I was seeing (independent clause, it could stand on its own as a sentence),(there that comma again, thank goodness for those things!) Alex proposed to Lilly (independent clause #2).)
All clauses contain a subject and a predicate. (I found this definition of a clause from the Oxford Languages website to be incredibly interesting, take it as you will: “ a unit of grammatical organization next below the sentence in rank and in traditional grammar said to consist of a subject and predicate.”) https://languages.oup.com/google-dictionary-en/
The subject always contains a noun and is what the clause is about. (Another way to think about this is that the subject controls the verb in a clause)
The predicate must contain and usually starts with a verb and is the thing that we want to say about the subject. (Remember a predicate is the part of the sentence contains a verb, it can be a phrase or simply just a verb. Specifically, it is the word or phrase that dictates what the subject of the sentence is doing. For example, “the party(noun) was fun(predicate phrase, was is the verb that is attached to fun that forms the predicate).

Noun + Verb = Clause.
People vote.
Clause = Simple Sentence.
Complex sentences = contain more than 1 clause.
People vote, and politicians run.

Aaron Rodgers tricked New York Jets fans and they all believed him.
The NY Jets suck [C1] because they have always sucked [C2], and Aaron Rodgers is but a small symptom of a much greater problem [C3], which is consistent mismanagement of the organization [C4], as most clearly evidenced by the recent firing of Robert Salah, due to the GM's misunderstanding of the Jets' early-mid season record [C5], who placed blame for clear offensive failures onto the overall coaching of the organization [C6] in spite of defensive successes that have decreased in the absence of a defense-minded head coach [C7].

My notes worded a bit different:
- Noun (subject) + verb (predicate) = clause = a simple sentence.
- Many clauses = complex sentence.
- Subject = what the clause is about
-will always contain a noun
- Predicate = what we want to say about the subject
-will always contain a verb
-usually starts with a verb
I feel like I'm relearning how to read lol... anyone else?
@lilifakava yeah but it’s super helpful in breaking things down especially for those of us who had a gap in education
I hustle. They sleep.
Sentence: Hakeem reads (clause) and Hakeem writes (clause).
Clause and Effect.
I eat and they ate
Britney reads (clause) and Sabrina listens (clause).
A clause is a sentence, a claim is also a sentence, is a claim a clause? Can I claim defeat?
Spurs in 7
oh this is good stuff! Simple but effective.
noun + verb= clause
clause = simple sentence
complex sentences contain many clauses
Fish swim and cows eat.
Complex sentence since 2 clauses.
