Hi All,
I have difficulty understanding the meaning of clause, group, content words and grammatical words. I appreciate your help to explain them to me, based on the example below:
The policeman, who had never heard of the Lawrence Amendment, was stumped by the supercilious approach of the barrister.
Is it correct to categorise them as follows:
Clause - The policeman
Groups - The policeman, the Lawrence Amendment, the barrister
Content words - heard, stumped, approach,
Grammatical words - had never, supercilious
Your advice and feedback is highly appreciated. Thank you
