Rewrite As Two

Worksheet Description

This Relative Clauses worksheet is centered on teaching the use and identification of relative clauses in English grammar. It provides a definition of a relative clause, lists common relative pronouns (such as “who,” “whom,” “whose,” “which,” “that”) and relative adverbs (like “when,” “where,” “why”), and gives examples of how these elements are used to connect clauses and provide additional information about a noun. The worksheet includes sentences that students are instructed to rewrite as two separate sentences, removing the relative clause to form independent clauses, thereby reinforcing their understanding of how relative clauses function within a sentence.

The purpose of this worksheet is to teach students the grammatical structure of relative clauses and how they enhance sentence complexity by providing additional information about a noun. It aims to develop students’ ability to recognize and use relative pronouns and adverbs correctly in writing. By rewriting sentences, students practice deconstructing complex sentences into simpler ones, which helps them understand the syntax and function of relative clauses. This exercise not only improves their grammar skills but also enhances their sentence variation and descriptive writing abilities.
