Used As An Adjective

Worksheet Description

This Relative Clauses worksheet is designed to instruct students on how to use relative clauses to combine sentences. It starts by defining a relative clause and listing common relative pronouns such as “who,” “whom,” “whose,” “where,” and “when.” An example is provided to demonstrate how two sentences can be combined into one by using a relative clause as an adjective. The worksheet then presents several pairs of sentences which students are tasked with rewriting into single sentences that incorporate relative clauses to provide additional descriptive information about a noun.

The worksheet is teaching students to enhance their writing by using relative clauses to combine sentences, thereby reducing repetition and improving sentence variety. It helps them understand how to use relative pronouns to relate extra information about a noun directly within a sentence. This skill is important for creating more complex and nuanced sentences, which is a fundamental aspect of proficient writing. Furthermore, the exercise aids in developing the ability to edit and streamline their writing by eliminating unnecessary sentences and integrating key details more elegantly.
