Teaching Capsule: Relative (Adjective) Clauses
This document provides information about clauses, including independent and dependent clauses. It defines independent clauses as groups of words with a subject and verb that can stand alone, while dependent clauses need another clause to be complete. Examples of dependent clauses include "until the next time I see you" and "because I want to get a 100 in English 6." The document also discusses using longer descriptions and adjectives to improve writing and provides examples of combining sentences using dependent clauses.
