Are you looking for a hands-on activity for students to practise embedding clauses into simple sentences?
Students perform "sentence surgery" by cutting out embedded clauses and matching each one to the simple sentence it fits best, then rewriting the sentence with the clause correctly embedded and punctuated. A reminder prompt on each worksheet cues students to add commas where needed and check that the sentence still makes sense without the clause. A final task asks students to write their own embedded clause into a given sentence.
What's included:
3 worksheets, each with a different context (hospital, archaeology, science lab) and varied sentences
Answer keys for all 3 worksheets
