Relative Clauses Introduction

Grammar book with connecting words illustration

📚 Part 1: Identifying Relative Clauses

Remember: A relative clause gives us more information about a noun and begins with 'who', 'which', or 'that'.

1. Which sentence contains a relative clause?

The cat is sleeping on the sofa.

The cat which is sleeping belongs to my neighbour.

My cat sleeps all day long.

2. Tick all the sentences that contain relative clauses:

The teacher who helps me is very kind.

I bought a new book yesterday.

The film that we watched was brilliant.

She lives in Manchester.

3. In the sentence "The girl who sits next to me is my friend," what does the relative clause tell us?

Which girl we're talking about

Where the girl lives

What the girl likes

✏️ Part 2: Choosing the Right Relative Pronoun

Remember: Use 'who' for people, 'which' for things/animals, and 'that' for people or things.

4. Fill in the blanks with the correct relative pronoun (who, which, or that):

a) The student ________ won the prize was delighted.

b) The book ________ I borrowed is very interesting.

c) The dog ________ barked all night kept me awake.

d) My sister, ________ lives in London, is visiting next week.

5. Complete these sentences by adding your own relative clauses:

a) The teacher _________________________________ is my favourite.

b) I lost the pen _________________________________ yesterday.

c) The friend _________________________________ helped me with homework.

6. Rewrite these two simple sentences as one sentence using a relative clause:

Example: I have a brother. He plays football. → I have a brother who plays football.

a) We visited a museum. It was very old.

b) She knows a girl. The girl speaks five languages.

🎯 Part 3: Apply Your Knowledge

7. Write three sentences of your own using relative clauses. Use 'who', 'which', and 'that' once each:

Sentence with 'who':

Sentence with 'which':

Sentence with 'that':

8. Explain in your own words why relative clauses are useful in writing:
