About Sentence Structure and Clauses
GoConqr OriginalWhat this page covers
The resources here sit in the Grammar: Words and Sentences strand of English language. They look at how sentences are built and how clauses fit inside them. Most are mind maps, with quizzes, flashcard decks, notes, flowcharts and slide sets alongside. All were made by GoConqr users.
Where to start
Begin with the basics of sentence types. The quiz Simple, Compound, and Complex Sentences checks the key definitions, and the Sentence Types Mind Map adds compound-complex sentences. If you are younger or need a gentler start, try the quiz on declarative, interrogative, imperative and exclamatory sentences, which uses everyday examples about cookies and cooking.
Next, look at what goes wrong. English: Run-on, Sentence, or Fragment? asks you to spot a run-on, a full sentence or a fragment, such as a phrase with no verb. The flashcard decks on fragments and run-on sentences help you remember the fixes.
Moving on to clauses
Once sentences feel secure, work through the clause maps in this order:
- Noun Clause. It covers a subordinating conjunction, a subject and a verb, and how the clause can be used.
- Relative Clauses. It explains why a defining clause gives essential information about the noun.
- Adverbial clauses of time. It shows the form of a time word plus subject and verb, with when, while and as.
There are also separate maps for adverbial clauses of place, manner, cause, result and contrast. The quiz Direct & Indirect Objects asks you to label subjects, direct objects and indirect objects.
Using quizzes and maps together
Read a mind map first, then take the matching quiz without looking back. Note the questions you miss and return to the map for those branches. Flashcards are good for terms such as subject, predicate and phrase. Learners aiming at TOEFL can look at the maps on TOEFL skill structure, and UNED grammar students will find mock tests too.
Where it fits
This unit belongs to the Grammar: Words and Sentences strand of English language. Choose one map today, test yourself with a quiz, and build your own flashcards from what you find tricky.
Frequently asked questions
Which resource should I open first?
Start with the quiz Simple, Compound, and Complex Sentences or the Sentence Types Mind Map. Both set out the main sentence types, which makes later work on clauses easier. Younger learners may prefer the 4th Grade Language quiz on declarative, interrogative, imperative and exclamatory sentences.
What do the mind maps cover?
Most of the page is mind maps. They cover noun clauses, relative clauses, defining and non-defining clauses, and adverbial clauses of time, place, manner, cause, result and contrast. Others look at word order, coordination and subordination, phrases, and the parts of a sentence.
Are the resources free to use?
Yes. Every resource listed here is free to open, study and take, with no account needed. They were made by GoConqr users, not by GoConqr itself, so style and depth vary. A free account saves your quiz scores and lets you make your own quizzes, maps, flashcards and notes.
Which levels and exams do these suit?
The page is mostly secondary-level material, with a small amount for primary-age learners and some for university students. A few resources mention TOEFL, including maps on TOEFL skill structure, and others mention UNED English grammar, with mock tests and a practice exercise.
How can I practise run-on sentences and fragments?
Try the quiz English: Run-on, Sentence, or Fragment? and the 4th Grade Language quiz on run-together sentences. There are also flowcharts on run-on sentences and sentence fragments, plus flashcard decks, so you can check your answers against the rules.
What if I cannot find the topic I need?
Search the related units on GoConqr, or make your own. Many topics here, such as participle clauses and purpose clauses, appear as flowcharts or slide sets rather than quizzes. You can turn a map or note into flashcards of your own to fill any gap.
