🎯 How to Make Bigger Sentences Using Clauses

To make a sentence bigger, we can add a clause — a group of words with a subject and verb — that gives more detail about the action, time, reason, place, or result.

🔹 Start with:
"I bought......."

✅ Add a clause to explain why / when / where / what happened next / what kind of item

Here are examples in each category:

1. Reason (Why?)
👉 I bought a jacket because it was cold.
(Reason clause: "because it was cold")

2. Time (When?)
👉 I bought a book when I visited the mall.
(Time clause: "when I visited the mall")

3. Place (Where?)
👉 I bought a gift where I always shop.
(Place clause: "where I always shop")

4. Result (What happened next?)
👉 I bought too many snacks so I had to carry two bags.
(Result clause: "so I had to carry two bags")

5. Descriptive Clause (Which / That)
👉 I bought a phone that has a great camera.
(Describing the phone using "that")

📌 Summary Tip:
Use words like because, when, where, so, that, which, if to add a clause and make the sentence longer and clearer!
