Use relative adverbs
key notes :
1. What are Relative Adverbs?
- Relative adverbs are words that introduce relative clauses and provide more information about a noun.
- They help to connect ideas and clarify relationships in a sentence.
2. Common Relative Adverbs
The three main relative adverbs are:
- Where: Refers to a place.
- Example: “The park where we play is big.”
- When: Refers to a time.
- Example: “I remember the day when we first met.”
- Why: Refers to a reason.
- Example: “Do you know the reason why she is upset?”
3. Using Relative Adverbs in Sentences
- Relative adverbs help to provide additional details in a sentence without starting a new one. They create a connection between the main clause and the relative clause.
- Examples:
- Where: “This is the restaurant where we had dinner.”
- When: “I love the summer when we go to the beach.”
- Why: “That is the reason why I studied hard.”
4. Identifying Relative Adverbs
- Look for the words where, when, and why in a sentence.
- Check if they introduce a clause that gives more information about a noun.
- Example: “She told me a story about when she traveled to Europe.”
- Here, when introduces the relative clause and provides information about the noun story.
