 GRAMMAR IN CONTEXT:
USE RELATIVE PRONOUNS
Some sentences include a clause that gives information about a person or
thing. These relative clauses are introduced by a relative pronoun.
Example:
The story is about a man who was taken from his home in Africa.

Who, whom, and whose are relative pronouns that connect a clause to a
person in the sentence.
Example:
This man, whose name was Joseph Cinqué, fought for his freedom.

You can use that to connect a relative clause to a person or a thing.

Examples:
The man that the slave traders shipped to Cuba was sold to the
Spaniards

The speech that Cinqué gave impressed the jurors.

 MORE COMPLEX SENTENCE
PRACTICE
WRITE THE SENTENCES. UNDERLINE EACH INDEPENDENT
CLAUSE ONCE AND EACH DEPENDENT CLAUSE TWICE.
ALSO CIRCLE THE SUBORDINATING CONJUNCTION.
2. Because her wish comes true, the children stick to a tree.
3. She ignores their cries until the children promise not to bother
her.
4. The audience laughs when Mr. Hernandez portrays the naughty
children stuck to the pear tree.
5. Lions hunt before dawn when it is dark and cool outside.
6. Because male lions keep the pride safe, the females do most of
the hunting.
7. Most of the time it rains when the sky is cloudy and dark.

IF YOUR GOAL IS TO PASS THIS CLASS,

WHAT ARE YOUR STRATEGIES IN
ACHIEVING THAT GOAL.
 COMPOUND AND COMPLEX
SENTENCES
A complex sentence has an independent clause and one
or more dependent clauses. The clauses are joined by
a subordinating conjunction. The independent clause
expresses a complete thought. The dependent clause
does not.
Example: Meat eaters are fast runners because they
must chase their prey.

If the dependent clause comes first, use a comma after it.

Example: Because they must chase their prey, meat

eaters are fast runners.
 VERB PRACTICE
Identify Verbs: Find each verb in the sentences Tell what kind of verb
(linking verb, helping verb, action verb, main verb) it is.
3. Large factories needed many workers.
4. Hull House was one of the most famous settlement houses.
5. Some cities are burning their excess trash.
6. John has worked at his job for 5 years now.
7. Mary always feels nervous before exams.
8. That car looks very expensive.
9. I have flown to many states in the U.S.
10. My brother drives to El Segundo every day.
11. The textbooks have been under the desks all semester.
