Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

  • Identify the relative adverbs where, when, and why in complete sentences

  • Select the relative adverb that matches a sentence's meaning of place, time, or reason

  • Combine two related sentences into one using a relative adverb

Teaching tips

  • Compare examples describing a place, a time and a reason before the selection tasks.
  • Discuss more than one valid response for open sentence-writing items.
  • Use the correction sheet to ask students why a revised sentence works.

Skills covered

  • Relative adverb identification — students circle where, when, or why in ten sentences and underline the full relative clause in eleven more.

  • Sentence combining — students merge pairs such as “I remember the day. We won the championship.” into one sentence with a relative adverb.

  • Proofreading — seven sentences use the wrong relative adverb (“This is the time why we dance”) and students find and correct each mistake.

Good to know

Questions teachers ask about this resource

Do students work only with given sentences, or write their own too?

Both. Four sheets work with provided sentences — circling adverbs, filling blanks, underlining clauses, and correcting errors — while the combining sheet merges sentence pairs and a full writing sheet has students compose eleven original sentences using an assigned when, where, or why.

What kind of mistakes appear in the correction task?

Each of the seven sentences uses a relative adverb that clashes with its meaning — 'That is the reason where I left early', 'This is the time why we dance' — so students must swap in the adverb that matches the reason, time, or place being described.
