Directions: ♦ Write complex sentences with adjective clauses based on the previous story.
♦ Decide if the clause should be restrictive or nonrestrictive and punctuate correctly. ♦ Use relative pronouns or relative adverb there as needed. ♦ Remember that you cannot use that in nonrestrictive clauses. ♦ Make the second sentence the adjective clause.
After writing your sentence, hit Enter or the tab key. Red signals incorrect. Revise the sentence and check your spelling/typing/punctuation. Be sure the cursor is at the end of the sentence and hit enter again. Green signals correct.
If you are incorrect after two tries, erase your answer and type a question mark in the text field and hit enter.
