Dependent Clauses Worksheet

What is a Dependent Clause?

A dependent clause (also called a subordinate clause) is a group of words that contains a subject and a verb but does not express a complete thought. It cannot stand alone as a sentence. Dependent clauses are often introduced by words like because, although, if, when, and while.

Understanding Subjects and Verbs

• The subject of a sentence is the person, place, thing, or idea that the sentence is about. It is usually a noun (a word that names a person, place, or thing).

Examples:

• Because I was tired (dependent clause)

• Although it was raining (dependent clause)

• When we finish our homework (dependent clause)

In our cybersmart class on Monday we made a slideshow introducing our classroom  to a new student our school, his name is Pip and he is from outer space.

I really enjoyed taking the pictures and then inserting them into my slide.

In cybersmart on Monday we did a blog post about Pip’s first day at Ruapotaka school.  We first took pictures using our camera on our chromebooks around our classroom and the school. We took pictures of the best place to hang out at morning tea and lunch.

In cybersmart on Monday we made a slideshow introducing our classroom to our new student pip.

I added a fun thought bubble to my slide. It says “delish” – I added this by getting my cursor and clicking on the top left which is the insert tab. I looked for shapes and then I clicked on callouts and chose the thought bubble outline I liked the most. To add the writing I just clicked the inside and added the word. You can change the font by clicking on fonts, the font I chose was bungee, but my favourite font to use is Creepster.
