Noun Phrase: A group of words consisting of nouns or pronouns and their modifiers that function as a noun. The culinary students wanted to learn how to make desserts from different countries. Verb Phrase: A group of words consisting of verbs working together and that function as a verb. The bakers knew they would be mixing a lot of dough this weekend. Prepositional Phrase: A group of words that begins with a preposition and ends with a noun, and functions as an adjective or an adverb. Ms. Huuges was running to the kitchen. Appositive Phrase: A group of words that include all the words that modify an appositive and function as an adjective - IT MUST BE SURROUNDED BY COMMAS. Ms. Mendoza, a new chef, worked diligently to help her family with new recipes. Verbal Phrases: A group of words that begin with a verbal and ends with a noun. ● Gerund Phrase verb ending in -ing that functions as a noun. Baking in your own home is very peaceful and therapeutic. ● Participial Phrase word ending in -ing (present participle) or -ed (past participle) that functions as an adjective.

CLAUSES
Clauses – groups of words with BOTH a subject and a verb that function as parts of speech. There are TWO kinds: Independent and Dependent (called “Subordinate”)
INDEPENDENT – CAN stand alone as a complete sentence, known as a simple sentence pattern. The cheesecake factory has different flavors of cheesecake.
DEPENDENT (SUBORDINATE) – CANNOT stand alone as a complete sentence
and MUST begin with a SUBORDINATE CONJUNCTION. There are seven (7) kinds:
Noun Clause: Used as the noun in a sentence and may function as a subject, a predicate noun, a direct object, an object of a preposition, an indirect object, or an appositive. ○ Where he grew up firmly made him the chef he is today. ○ Kindly give whoever calls an answer. ○ The teacher was happy when the students finished making their creme brulee from scratch. ○ Mr. Hoffman wisely checked what ingredients he had to make the cake. Adjective Clause: Used to modify a noun in an independent clause. Some adjective clauses begin with an introductory word: ○ This is the culinary school where students tend to drop out. (“where” is an introductory word) ○ where is the torch that I absolutely need. ○ The new spatula that you wanted is going on sale. Some adjective clauses begin with relative pronouns: ■ Olivia is obviously the one who got the most stars. (ONE is the antecedent of WHO and is modified by the adjective clause.) ■ There goes the teacher whose class is usually failing. (TEACHER is the antecedent of whose and is modified by the adjective clause.) ■ The sculpting class informatively teaches how to make a decorative tall cake without having it collapse or cave in. ■ Is this the knife that you so vehemently want? (that is the direct object of want) ■ Tina is the sous chef who was shyly challenged to a duel. (who is the direct object of the challenge.) ■ The recommendation letter to which you refer has sadly been lost and the chef will not be receiving any more chefs. (which is the object of the preposition to.) ■ Hector is a chef who easily shrugs off criticism. (who is the subject of shrugs.) Adverb Clause: Used to modify verbs, adjectives, and adverbs in an independent clause, introduced by a subordinate conjunction and used to indicate time, place, cause, purpose, result, condition, and/or concession. Modifying verbs: ■ They unfortunately took out all of the flammable desserts where there was small spaces. (place) ■ When the alarm finally rang, she went to check on the oven. (time)
■ We sluggishly left the bakery because we were tired from baking all day. (purpose) ■ The sous chef talked as if she was already the head chef of the restaurant. (condition) Modifying adjectives: ■ For the doughnuts there needs to be fifty grams of powdered sugar. (how much) ■ Casey is being generous to her customers by giving free samples. (to what extent) Modifying adverbs: ■ Suzy stirred the pot harder than her co-workers typically did. (condition) Relative Clauses: Dependent clause that begins with a relative pronoun. ○ The student who finishes first will earn an indulgently tasty cookie. Elliptical Clauses: Adverb clauses in which part of the clause is omitted. ○ When driving, the instructor keenly keeps her eyes on the road. Essential Clauses: Clauses necessary to the meaning of the sentence. ○ The course that most interests Mr. Marks are Japanese desserts. Nonessential Clauses: Clauses that are NOT necessary to the meaning of the sentence. ○ Garret had finally finished his first semester at culinary school, which began six months ago.
