A clause is a group of words that contains a verb (and usually other components too). A clause may form part of a sentence or it may be a complete sentence in itself.

About clauses, it is not correct:

Every sentence contains just one main clause. A main clause may form part of a compound sentence or a complex sentence, but it also makes sense on its own.

In Her father died when she was very young,. we have:

Her father died (main clause)

when (subordinating conjunction)

she was very young (adverbial clause)

Compound sentences are made up of two or more main clauses linked by a conjunction such as and, but, or so, as in the following examples:

I love sport and I‘m captain of the local football team.

[main clause] [conjunction] [main clause]

She was born in Spain but her mother is

Polish.

[main

[main clause] [conjunction]

clause]

A simple sentence (also knownas an independent clause) is the basic building block of all sentences. It must have a main verb/verb group and a subject, and it must make complete sense on its own.

A complex sentence consists of an independent clause (simple sentence) and one or more dependent clauses (subordinating clauses). The dependent clause is introduced by either a subordinate conjunction (for an adverbial clause) or a relative pronoun (for an adjectival clause).

1. Some common subordinating conjunctions (adverbial clauses): after, (al)though, as, because, before, if, once, since, unless, until, when, while

2. Relative pronouns (adjectival clauses): who/that, whom, whose (people); that, which (animals, things).
