In English grammar, a coordinate clause is a clause (i.e., a word group containing a subject and predicate) that is introduced by one of the coordinating conjunctions most commonly and or but. Example : I'm going to the park and I'm going to the cinema later . Participle clauses are non-finite clauses. They use a present participle or a past participle to shorten a main clause.
