Good Morning P5 😊

I hope you are ready for a great day of learning!

Grammar- Complex Sentences

I know that a complex sentence is made up of a main clause and a subordinate

clause

I know that a subordinate clause contains a verb but does not make sense on its

own

I can recognize that subordinating conjunctions are used to

create a subordinate clause within a complex sentence

I can use ‘I SAW A WABUB’ to remember the main

subordinating conjunctions.

I can write my own com complex sentences using different

subordinating clauses.

I can identify the main clause and the subordinate clause within a sentence

Challenge: I can change the position of the subordinate clause to make my

writing more exciting

I can use a comma to separate the main clause and the subordinate clause

WHEN the Subordinate clause comes first.

Mild:

Task 1 – Copy these sentences into your jotters.

Underline the Main Clause in RED

Underline the subordinate clause in BLUE

a) Thinking carefully, I finished my maths homework.

b) My mum put a plaster on my knee while trying not to hurt

me.

c) I’m having cereal for breakfast while the toaster is broken.

d) Although I find complex sentences hard, I am trying my

best.

Task 2: Change these simple sentences to complex

sentence’s by adding in a subordinate clause. The
