Good morning Year 6 and welcome to your first April SPAG lesson!
Yesterday we looked at pronouns and today we are looking at relative pronouns.
A relative clause is a specific type of subordinate clause that adapts, describes or modifies a noun. Relative clauses add information to sentences by using a relative pronoun such as who, whose or which.
Relative pronoun:
who-refers to a person
whose-refers to possessions of a person
which-refers to an animal, place or thing
The relative clause is used to add information about the noun, so it must be ‘related’ to the noun.
