Combining Sentences

Worksheet Description

This Relative Clauses worksheet is designed to help students practice combining pairs of sentences into a single sentence using a relative clause. For each pair of sentences provided, students must identify the common noun and use it to form a relative clause, thereby condensing the two ideas into one coherent sentence. The pairs of sentences cover a variety of subjects and situations, offering students multiple opportunities to apply their understanding of relative clauses in different contexts.

The worksheet’s goal is to teach students how to effectively use relative clauses to add detail and complexity to their sentences. It focuses on the skill of condensing information without losing content, which is valuable for concise writing. Students learn to enhance their written expression by linking ideas in a way that flows naturally and is grammatically correct. This exercise also reinforces their understanding of sentence structure and improves their ability to edit and refine their own writing.
