Make one of the sentences a subordinate (dependent) clause: 1. English is not our mother tongue. English has gradually become the most important language in Ghana. 2. The students are very serious this year. The students will pass the exams. 3. The students are very serious this year. They can not pass the exam.
Understand the Problem
The question asks to transform pairs of independent sentences into a single sentence where one clause is subordinate (dependent) to the other. A subordinate clause cannot stand alone as a complete sentence and relies on the main clause for its meaning.
Answer
Here are the sentences, with one clause made subordinate: 1. Although English is not our mother tongue, it has gradually become the most important language in Ghana. 2. Because the students are very serious this year, the students will pass the exams. 3. Although the students are very serious this year, they cannot pass the exam.
- Although English is not our mother tongue, it has gradually become the most important language in Ghana.
- Because the students are very serious this year, the students will pass the exams.
- Although the students are very serious this year, they cannot pass the exam.

More Information
A subordinate clause (also called a dependent clause) will typically start with a subordinate conjunction (such as 'although', 'because', 'if', 'since', 'when', etc.) or a relative pronoun (such as 'that', 'which', 'who', 'whom', 'whose').
Tips
A common mistake is creating a sentence that does not make sense. Read the new sentence aloud to ensure it makes sense.
