Watch this video if you need help with relative clauses: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SYwiB5XD32M
Remember, an embedded clause goes in the middle of a main clause, just after the noun.
Activity 1
Write the sentence out with commas around the embedded clause.
1) The man who hadn’t eaten for hours went to get some lunch.
2) The tree that had lost its leaves waved in the wind.
3) The river which ran for miles thrashed against the bank.
Activity 2
Identify the relative pronoun in each sentence:
1) The tickets, which I’ve already paid for, are still valid.
2) Lucy, whose car had broken down, didn’t go.
3) Maximus fell to the floor where he stayed for a couple of hours.
Activity 3
Add an embedded clause to each of the following sentences:
1) Derek went up to bed.
2) Mrs Jones marched up to her office.
3) Mr Stevens sat and drank his Dr Pepper.
Activity 4
Answer the following questions:
1. Dave, who was the chair of governors, walked around the school building. Why does this relative clause use the pronoun who and not whose?
2. My sister, who eats meat, is a vegetarian.
What is wrong with the relative clause in this sentence?
