What Does It Modify?

Worksheet Description

The Relative Clauses worksheet is designed to help students identify and understand the use of relative clauses in sentences. It begins with a definition of a relative clause as a clause that describes a noun and lists the relative pronouns that are commonly used to introduce these clauses. The worksheet provides ten sentences, each containing a relative clause, and instructs students to write down the noun that the relative clause is modifying.

This worksheet aims to teach students how to accurately identify the noun that a relative clause modifies in a sentence. It reinforces the concept that relative clauses provide additional information about a noun, which can be a person, place, thing, or idea. Through this exercise, students practice recognizing the connection between the relative clause and its corresponding noun. This task is fundamental in understanding sentence structure and improving the ability to construct well-formed sentences with clear, descriptive detail.
