Grammar Online Week 1: Sentence and clause structure

- Effectiveness of practice: (describe here what you have learned)

For week 1, the grammar online worked on sentences and clause structure. A very detailed explanation was being shown online. I only worked on my weak areas in identifying sentence structure and punctuations. There are a couple of things which are new to me.
Firstly, a dependent clause is also called a subordinate clause. In addition, clauses are also classified as restrictive and non-restrictive clauses. In our tutorial, we defined independent clauses as being able to stand alone by itself. In the grammar online, it gives in-depth meaning of an independent clause.
Independent clauses are also known as non-restrictive clause. It is not essential to the meaning of the sentence; it can be removed from the sentence without changing its basic meaning. It gave good explanations with example to relate its meaning. In addition, it gives an explanation on the various usages of punctuations such period, semicolon and hyphen. A part that I took great understanding is about the elliptical clauses.
Personally, I do make such grammatical mistake in the sense that the sentence I constructed is missing a relative pronoun. Usually I am unaware that anything is missing. However after reading this passage, I am able to at least guess from the context of my sentence.

Two quizzes that I took are Identifying Independent Clauses and Identifying Independent Clauses II. I think it is quite a good practice to be able to do it and able to get feedback instantaneously.
