Study Notes
Relative Adverbs
- Relative adverbs provide information about the people, places, or things found in a sentence, similar to how party invitations describe the why, where, and when of a party.
- They are also used to join sentences or clauses, which are groups of words that have a subject and a verb but that are not complete sentences.
Three Relative Adverbs
- There are three relative adverbs that can be used in a sentence: why, where, and when.
Using Why
- The relative adverb 'why' provides more information about the reason that an event happened or will happen.
- It takes the place of the words 'the reason for which' or 'for which' in a sentence.
- Example: Do you know why I want the new Intergalactic Laser Tag game for my birthday?
Using Where
- The relative adverb 'where' helps to answer the question of location in a sentence.
- It takes the place of the words 'in which' or 'at which.'
- Example: Sarah showed us the water park where she wanted to have her Sweet 16 party.
Using When
- The relative adverb 'when' provides information about the timing of something occurring.
- 'When' takes the place of the words 'on which' or 'in which.'
- Example: The birthday party got really crazy when the clowns started throwing stinky fish at people.
- Example: Lily was surprised when she saw her beautiful birthday cupcakes.
