    dependent, independent and adverd clauses are easier compare to nominal clauses. we can identified the dependent, independent and adverb clauses by identifying the main idea about the clauses compare to nominal clauses which are more confusing.

    Compared to other clauses, nominal clause is more complicated. I need time to get whole understanding of all the subtopics in nominal clause.

    I found that some of the questions in the exercises are quite challenging. However, it is good for me as i can understand more ans revise on the clauses especially the nominal clause which i found it is more difficult.
