(2) Meanwhile, Kayla had the same exact premonition.

(3) Worried about her sister, Kayla called Jayla's cell phone.

(4) Because she took her eyes off the road to answer the phone call, Jayla lost control of her car and crashed through the front of Kayla's house.


Which sentence features an introductory clause that explains why the main action happened?

Sentence 1
Sentence 2
Sentence 3
Sentence 4

Answer 1

What's you guess?

Answer 2

2?

Answer 3

Not quite. See, an introductory clause that explains why the main action happened. You're close though.

Taken from PURDUE OWL
"Introductory clauses are dependent clauses that provide background information or "set the stage" for the main part of the sentence, the independent clause. For example: If they want to win, athletes must exercise every day."

It would be sentence one, because it says 'as she was driving', which is when the main action happened.

Do you get it?
