Grammar Lesson ESO 4
Grammar lesson designed for students of ESO 4 (15-16 years old) on the use of relative pronouns and the compounds of some and any in English.
Relative clauses
There are two types of relative clauses: defining and non-defining. Defining clauses provide essential information to identify a person or thing, while non-defining clauses provide extra background information. Punctuation differs between the two, with non-defining clauses always separated by commas. Relative pronouns also differ based on whether the clause is defining or non-defining, and prepositions can be placed either before or after the relative pronoun.
Clause elements
The document discusses various types of sentences including simple, compound, complex, and minor sentences. It defines what constitutes each type of sentence based on the number and type of clauses. For example, a simple sentence contains one independent clause, a compound sentence contains at least two independent clauses joined by a conjunction, and a complex sentence contains an independent clause and at least one dependent clause. The document also covers clause elements such as subjects, verbs, objects, and complements.

Around the same time, members of the Mormon church fled religious persecution and settled in Utah under Brigham Young's leadership. Both areas saw a period of lawlessness and formation of vigilante groups due to the lack of formal law enforcement. California became a state in 1850 after meeting population requirements, while Utah struggled for statehood for decades due to its practice of polygamy.

Adj phrases&adjclausesgrade8
- 2. • A phrase is a group of words that works together as a single part of speech. A prepositional phrase starts with a preposition and ends with its object. • A prepositional phrase that modifies or describes a noun is an adjective phrase • An adjective phrase will usually follow the noun it describes. EXAMPLES: 1. The sweet potatoes in the vegetable bin are green with mold. 2. The note from Beverly confessed that she had taken the car keys. 3. The clues within the first few chapters will lead to the criminal. 4. One type of vegetable is cruciferous.
- 4. • A clause is a group of words that has a subject and a predicate • When a clause does not form a sentence, it is a dependent (aka subordinate) clause. • A dependent clause that describes a noun is an adjective clause. • An adjective clause will usually follow the noun it describes. EXAMPLES: 1. Fruit that is grown organically is expensive. 2. I know someone whose father served in Korea. 3. Erma Bombeck said, “Never go to a doctor whose office plants have died.” 4. The reason why Charlie is so tired is his lack of sleep.
- 6. Like adjectives, adjective phrases and adjective clauses answer the questions which one or what kind. Bah dum, tsss! ;)
- 7. • FYI: - A restrictive adjective clause is necessary to the meaning of the sentence. The shoes that I bought today are too tight. - A nonrestrictive adjective clause is NOT needed for the meaning of the sentence. Nonrestrictive clauses are usually set off by commas. Philadelphia, which is a large city, has many historic landmarks.
- 8. Find and identify all adjective phrases (adj. ph.) and adjective clauses (adj. cl.) 1. The kids who were called first will have the best chance of playing. 2. Pizza, which most people love, is readily available. 3. The Miller family bought a house by the ocean. 4. Something under the bed was moving. 5.
