Adding Embedded Clauses
Students will embed clauses in the provided simple sentences. A great way to demonstrate understanding of the Complex Sentences – Year 6 Unit.
An embedded clause is inserted into the middle of a main clause instead of at the start or end of a sentence. An embedded clause is separated by commas on either side.
Learning goals
- We are learning to understand that a complex sentence contains one independent clause and at least one dependent clause joined by a subordinating conjunction, e.g. because, if, that, which is used to extend, elaborate and explain ideas.
- We are learning to identify and use embedded clauses to expand the variety of complex sentences and extend ideas, e.g. My bike, which is very old (embedded clause), is broken.
