Hi,again
Today,we're going to have a lesson about the time clauses
Consider the following sentence
When I go home,I will phone you
In this sentence,we have two clauses
The first clause
When I go home
The second clause
I will phone you
We call the first clause : subordinate clause because it is not complete in meaning and it contains
the conjunction " when "but we call the second clause the main clause because its meaning is complete
So, the subordinate clause always contains the conjunction
There are many conjunctions that express time like : as soon as -while-before-after-until
Exercise1 : Colour the main clause in red and the subordinate clause in blue in the following sentences
As soon as I finish my work,I'll go home
She won't leave until you come
My father will buy a new car before he sells the old one
After we finish the lesson,we'll do an exercise
I will read a newspaper while I am in the bus
When he comes back,I'll tell him
هذا الدرس سيكون متبوعا بتتمة إن شاء الله فمن لم يفهم شيئا هنا فليسأل مرحبا به
