Add A Dependent Clause

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is a tool for practicing the transformation of simple sentences into complex sentences. It presents a list of six simple sentences, each containing a single independent clause. Students are instructed to expand these sentences by adding a dependent clause, thereby converting them into complex sentences. The purpose is to have students apply their knowledge of sentence structure by integrating additional information into the basic statements provided.

The worksheet is designed to enhance the students’ ability to create complex sentences from simple ones by adding dependent clauses. It teaches the importance of using dependent clauses to provide more detail and to connect ideas within a sentence. The students learn to recognize the potential for elaboration in simple sentences and to use subordinating conjunctions to join clauses together. This exercise aims to improve students’ writing skills by encouraging more descriptive and detailed sentence construction.
