Objectives
At the end of the lesson, students should be able to:
a. Understand the definition of independent and dependent clause through
representation;
b. Construct complex sentences using independent and dependent clause.

II. Subject Matter

a. Topic: Independent Clause and Dependent Clause
b. References: English Time
c. Materials: Visual aids

III. Procedure
A. Classroom Routine
1. Prayer
2. Greetings

B. Elicitation
Ask for two volunteers. The first volunteer is supposed to stand up
holding a sentence – an independent clause. The second volunteer is going
to be asked to kneel while holding a dependent clause.

I watched TV after I finished my homework.

 The teacher then explains the difference between the two by asking the
students to visualize the student who is standing as an independent clause,
someone who can stand on its own while the student who is kneeling is
going to be visualized as a dependent clause, someone who cannot stand
on its own and who needs an independent sentence in order to express a
complete thought.
\

C. Highlighting of Forms
An independent clause contains both subject and a verb and can stand
alone in the sentence.
A dependent clause contains both a subject and a verb but cannot stand
alone as a sentence. A dependent clause is introduced by a subordinating
conjunction to establish the relationship between this clause and the rest of
the sentence.
Subordinating conjunctions:
although even that now
After even if though now then
as once until when
as if since unless whenever
as long as so that if while
as much as than if only whoever
 D. Practice
