This teaching slides resource introduces embedded clauses and explores how writers use them to add detail to a noun within a sentence.
Introductory slides establish what a clause is and set up the learning intentions before moving through what an embedded clause is, why writers use them, how to expand a noun group using an embedded clause, and how commas work with embedded clauses. Each concept is introduced with a definition and worked examples before moving into practice.
