FREE Defining/Non-defining Relative Clauses Worksheets

You have reached the section devoted to defining and non-defining relative clauses which are some intimidating phrases so you might want to leave them out of your introduction and focus on the important stuff such as how to form and use them. With 93 relative clause worksheets to choose from, you should be able to find something here that your students will like. Check out this great activity that students complete by working in groups and as a class. All the materials and directions are included to ensure that everything goes smoothly. Be sure to make enough copies of the first page; there should be enough cards for each student to make three sentences which means that one copy is only good for four students. If your class is quite large, you might consider thinking up some partial sentences of your own to add more variety to the lesson. This worksheet is perfect for upper level learners but if your students are at a lower level, you can adapt this or simply find another more suitable activity to use in your class.
