What Is a Clause and Why Is It Important in IELTS Writing Task 2?
A clause refers to a segment of a sentence containing a main verb or a section of a legal agreement. Understanding different types of clauses is crucial for effective communication in the IELTS Writing Task 2.
How Can You Use Independent and Coordinate Clauses Effectively?
Independent clauses can stand alone as complete sentences, while coordinate clauses connect two ideas. Utilising these clauses effectively ensures clear communication.
What Are Subordinate and Concessive Clauses, and How Do They Enhance Writing?
Subordinate clauses add complexity to sentences, while concessive clauses introduce contrasting ideas, providing a nuanced approach to writing.
How Do Relative Clauses Improve Sentence Variety and Precision?
Relative clauses, both defining and non-defining, join ideas and provide additional information, crucial for enhancing clarity and precision in your writing.
