Are you looking for a worksheet to give students meaningful practice identifying and writing complex sentences? Each worksheet uses a sports-themed context — soccer, athletics, and basketball — to engage students as they work through a set of structured tasks. Students underline the main clause, circle the subordinating conjunction, and box the dependent clause in given sentences, then compare two sentence structures and explain why a writer might choose one over the other. They also complete sentences by adding a dependent clause before writing their own complex sentences for a specific purpose.
What's included:
3 worksheets, each with a different sports context (soccer, athletics, basketball) and varied sentences
