Can I use this phrases and clauses worksheet for homeschool or classroom?
⌄
Yes, both. We made it for 7th grade sentences, and it works the same at home or at school. At home, a student can work through it alone and then go over it with you, which shows quickly what is solid and what needs another look. In class it works as independent practice, homework or a warm-up, and you can print one copy or a full set.
What is the difference between a phrase and a clause?
⌄
A clause is a word group with its own subject and verb, and a phrase lacks a subject, a verb or both. Phrase or Clause in Longer Sentences asks students to write P or C for underlined word groups, and Find the Phrase and the Clause has them mark one of each in every sentence.
What is a dependent clause?
⌄
A dependent clause begins with a word like although or that and cannot stand alone as a sentence. It needs an independent clause to finish its thought. Label Independent and Dependent Clauses and Dependent Clauses in Long Sentences give students sentences to mark.
What is a noun clause?
⌄
A noun clause is a dependent clause that does the job of a noun, and it often begins with what, whether, that, how, why, where or whoever. Noun Clauses as Subject and Object has students label each as a subject, direct object or object of a preposition.
How do you turn an independent clause into a dependent clause?
⌄
Add a subordinating word such as because, although, when, once or while. Then the clause needs another clause to complete it, and a comma follows it at the start of a sentence. Turn Clauses Into Dependent Clauses practices this with five sentence pairs.
