5 Contextualized Grammar I-BEST SUN Path Curriculum Unit for Nursing Assistant with ESL Support - Page 5 of 8 Handout C: Future Time Clause Grammar Guide Complex Sentences combine independent and dependent clauses A clause is a phrase within a sentence that has a subject and verb (Clause 1) Before I finish the shift, (Clause 2) I m going to record my vital signs. An independent clause can stand alone as a complete sentence: The nurse talked to the patient after the doctor left. A dependent clause cannot stand alone as a complete sentence and relies on the independent clause to provide a complete thought. After the doctor left (incomplete thought) The nurse talked to the patient after the doctor left (complete thought) Future Time Clauses The nurse will change the bandage after she comes back from lunch. (Independent clause) (dependent time clause) After the nurse comes back from lunch, she will change the dressing. (dependent time clause) (independent clause) A time clause is a dependent clause that begins with a time adverb such as before, after, while as soon as, when and if. In a future time clause, the verb in the independent clause is future with will or going to The verb in the dependent time clause (the clause following the time adverb) is in present. A time clause can be at the beginning or end of the sentence without changing the meaning. The nurse will change the bandage after she comes back from lunch. After she comes back from lunch, the nurse will change the bandage. If the sentence begins with the adverb, place a comma after the dependent phrase. If the sentence begins with the dependent phrase, a comma is not necessary After the nurse comes back from lunch, she will change the dressing. The nurse will change the dressing after she comes back from lunch When and as soon as convey the same meaning: the action occurs after an event happens: As soon as (when) the family leaves, she ll take his blood pressure. While conveys that different actions happen at the same time If indicates that a condition must be met first (also categorized as a conditional) If you feel any pain, ask the nurse for your medicine.

Note: For a more advanced exercise, add other types of adverbial connectors that show cause and effect, contradiction, similarity, etc. Students can experiment with which connectors fit different clause pairs
