Todays learning What is an embedded clause?
An embedded clause is a subordinate clause that appears in the middle of a sentence (it is embedded within it). We use carefully chosen punctuation to separate embedded clauses from the main clause.
The lady, who was cradling a baby, was looking out the window. Where is the embedded clause?
How do we create embedded clauses? Think of a simple sentence first. The lady was standing in the window. Now we identify where the extra information can go (often after a noun). In this sentence The lady is the noun. Then we use either an adverbial (when, where or how), a relative pronoun or a subordinating conjunction to add extra information. Next we place the extra information (embedded clause) in the correct place and use either brackets, dashes or commas to separate from the main clause. The lady, who was cradling a baby, was standing in the window.
Task Using the images you have been given, create sentences that contain embedded clauses. You have been given some word banks to help you. GD: Try and use an embedded clause within a subordinating clause. Although the shed (that was in the middle of the garden) seemed rusty and old, it is perfectly useable.
