Teacher Notes (not visible to students)
This worksheet focuses on helping students distinguish between independent and dependent clauses. The first part requires students to identify whether a clause is independent or dependent. The second part is a matching exercise where students pair independent clauses with suitable dependent clauses. Teachers can use this activity to reinforce understanding of sentence structure and the role of clauses. Encourage students to look for clues such as subordinating conjunctions to identify dependent clauses. When grading, check for correct identification and logical matching of clauses.
