I can record the name of the shape.

Literacy

In grammar we have been practicing adding dependant clauses to main clauses. Your task for this week is to demonstrate what you have learnt by adding dependant clauses to these sentences.

Remember a clause must contain a verb. It can go in the middle, end or beginning of a sentence. They usually begin with ly, ed, ing words or conjunctions (so, because, while etc). Just adding adjectives is not a dependant clause. Please don’t change the original sentence.

E.G

Balancing carefully, the cat walked across the wall.

1. The cat purred.
2. It dove to the bottom.
3. He slammed the door.
4. The monkey threw a coconut.
5. She sat back and relaxed.
6. The snow crunched under her feet.

Challenge:

Try each sentence but adding the clause in different places.
