Question

identify the dependent clause in the sentence: i will go to the park if the weather is nice.

a i will go to the park
b if the weather is nice
c the weather is nice
d go to the park

Explanation:

Analyze the sentence structure

The sentence is: "I will go to the park if the weather is nice."
It consists of two parts:

1. "I will go to the park" (expresses a complete thought and can stand alone).
2. "if the weather is nice" (starts with the subordinating conjunction "if" and cannot stand alone).

Identify the dependent clause

A dependent clause contains a subject and a verb but does not express a complete thought.
The clause "if the weather is nice" is dependent because of the subordinating conjunction "if".
Therefore, the dependent clause is "if the weather is nice".

Answer:

• (A) I will go to the park
• (B) if the weather is nice (Correct answer)
• (C) the weather is nice
• (D) go to the park
