Phrases & Clauses
English · Grammar & Punctuation · conceptual
Understand and analyse the function of phrases (noun, verb, adjectival, adverbial, prepositional) and clauses (main, subordinate, relative) in general and in specific sentences, including recognising and correcting misplaced and dangling modifiers
What mastery looks like
- Identify a prepositional phrase acting as an adverbial and explain its role in the sentence
- Distinguish between a main clause and a subordinate clause and explain their relationship
- Spot a dangling modifier in a sentence and rewrite it to remove the ambiguity
Check your understanding
If Phrases & Clauses reads a sentence like "Walking home from school, the rain soaked her backpack" and something feels grammatically off, can they identify the dangling modifier and explain how to rewrite it correctly?
