Relative clauses micro-lesson
Do you struggle with balancing your kids’ screen time with their education? Say hello to 1Question, the app that solves this problem with a fun twist! Our app lets your child earn screen time minutes in their favourite apps by watching educational videos and correctly answering quiz questions. And the best part? You get to decide which apps to lock behind learning using 1Question.
Learning time
Kids learn by watching short, engaging video lessons.
This lesson is about relative clauses. A relative clause can give more information about a sentence. They include a relative pronoun such as that, which, who, whose, where, when and have a comma before and after the clause. For example, we can add a relative clause to the sentence, “The boy put on his coat.” I'm going to use the relative clause, “Who was cold,” to tell us more about the boy. “The boy, who was cold, put on his coat.” “The chair, that was old, broke when I sat on it.” Here, the relative clause is, “That was old.” Can you identify the relative clause in the following sentence, “The chocolate, which was placed in the sun, melted away?” It is, “Which was placed in the sun.” How about, “Paris, where the Eiffel Tower resides, is in France?” The relative clause here is, “Where the Eiffel Tower resides.”
