﻿Hello, welcome to lesson seven of a unit 24. subordinate clauses with me Mr. Halpin. Before we begin, can you check that you have a pen that works some paper and your brain is switched to active. Please pause your video if you need to collect any of this equipment now resume when you're ready. All sorted. Good. Let's begin. This is what today's session will look like we'll recap some ideas from unit 24 will correct some run-ons will introduce subordinate clauses you will write a paragraph and then you're Ace your quiz sound good. Wonderful. Let's go. What is the correct definition of an independent clause? You can pause your video and read the answers yourself, or listen to me read them out. An independent clause is a group of words that has a main verb and a subject. An independent clause is a group of words that does not have a main verb and a subject and independent clause is a group of words that has a main verb but no subject. On the counter of three, you can point your screen or shout out loud. One two three. An independent clause is a group of words that has a main verb and a subject. Well done if you remembered that. Brilliant start! which of these is an independent clause pause the video to read the options to yourself or listen to me read them aloud. Option one. The ran wildly. Option two. Because it would not start. Option three. Charles jumped over the fence. or option four, He always his hair. At the count of three point or shout one, two, three. Option three! Brilliant if you shouted option three. Superb. A reminder here fragment. If your sentence does not include a subject and a verb and does not make sense on its own, it is a fragment. We should avoid writing fragments. Let's return to Fatima Fatima a delicious chocolate cake. Doesn't quite sound right does it? Fatima a delicious chocolate cake. There's something missing. What's missing. That's right a verb. We can fix this fragment by adding in the verb. Fatima baked a delicious chocolate cake, subject verb expresses a complete idea. We now have an independent clause. Brilliant work. which of these is a fragment. You can pause your video or listen to me read the options aloud. Option one My mum celebrated her birthday yesterday. Option two. Because the driver was late. Option three. The library was closed. or option four her car broke down on. On the count of three, one, two, three option two! Superb if you got that correct. Great start. Let's move on to correcting, run-on sentences. I wonder if you can remember the rule when you list two things a subjected in one sentence, you only name the subject once. That's have a look at this example Mr.and Mrs. Jones bought a new car and they loved it. who's the subject of this sentence, Mr. and Mrs. Jones. Well done. Are they named again in this sentence? Yes. The word they names Mr and Mrs. Jones again. Remember when you list two things a subject, does it in one sentence, you only name the subject once. So to fix this run-on we need to remove the word they Mr. and Mrs. Jones bought a new car and loved it. Brilliant. Over to you now. I need to disappear. Do you think you could find all of the run-on sentences in this passage? Can you fix them? So the subject is only named once? Brilliant. Pause your video. Find those run-ons fix them and resume your video when you are ready. All done! Wonderful effort. Let's have a look at your answers. Do they look like this? Superb work if they do. Brilliant. And am back. Let's look at subordinate clauses now. I have a rule for you to focus on a subordinate clause, has extra information to an independent clause. Remember that a subordinate clause I'm going to use pink has extra information to an independent clause. I'm going to use blue. Here's an example When Samira climbed a tree, the bird flew away. What's the subject of this sentence? That's right the bird. So our main verb is flew. The bird flew away. This is our independent clause. When Samira climbed a tree, the bird flew away. When Samira climbed a tree is our subordinate clause. It has extra information to our independent clause. In this example, the part that tells when it happened, gives more information about when the birds flew away. The birds flew away when Samira climbed a tree. Here's another example Dad did the washing up in the kitchen. who is the subject of this sentence? Dad verb did the washing up. The subordinate clause here in the kitchen, tells us where it happened. In the kitchen it gives more information about where dad did the washing up. Over to you now. Can you figure out which part of the sentence is the independent clause? And which one is the subordinate? Pause your video and have a go at figuring out which one is which. Remember an independent clause must contain subject verb and make sense on its own. The subordinate clause has extra information. Pause your video now and resume when you are done. All finished? How was that? Let's have a look at your answers. Do they look like mine? Remember I'm using blue for independent clauses and pink for subordinate. Number one, when the doorbell rang my dog barked loudly. The subject, my dog, the verb, barked my dog bark loudly When the doorbell rang has more information about when my dog barked Brilliant work, well done if you got those correct. Onto our writing test now. Remember in this unit, you've been writing stories based on a sequence of pictures, all the focusing on your writing checks to make sure your writing is as accurate as possible. Here are the checks for your writing today, make sure you use capital letters and full stops correctly. I have inferred what happened between two pictures. I have written in the past tense and as always, your writing must be realistic and believable. You can do this by telling what you know happened. Here's your first image. Pause your video. Have a good look at what's going on in this image. Think about who your subject and what the verbs you will use in your writing. Our subjects, Kim, Robert, the guide and verbs like spotted or crawled might be useful in your writing today. Here's the second image for you to look at today. Pause your video. Have a good look at who our subjects and what our verbs. Subjects again Kim Robert, the guide verbs like clambered or swung might be useful in your writing today. Here's the full sequence. Here are both images for you to look at the beginning of your story on the left, the ending of your story on the right. Feel free to pause your video if you want to take a longer look at these two pictures. Resume when you are ready. In this lesson, you have the beginning and the end of your sequence. You must infer what happened in between. Can you remember what inference is? You have information about the start of the story. You have information about the end of the story. You must tell what happened in between that is inference. What must have happened in between the first and second pictures. Pause your video and have a think. Okay. Ready? Planned your writing. Superb. Pause your video now to complete your writing task. Resume when you are ready. Finished. Wonderful. Let's have a look at the writing. Whilst on Safari, the family sat in a Jeep. Robert talked to the guide. Kim looked through her binoculars and spotted some monkeys. The monkeys were intrigued. They crawl towards the Jeep. One of the monkeys clambered onto the Jeep and stole Robert's hat. The monkeys all bounced away. Everyone laughed at Robert. Does my writing meet all of those writing checks. Let's have a look check number one, Have I used capital letters and full stops correctly? Yes, yes I have. At the start and end of every sentence and for names of specific people and places. Did you? Superb! Check number two, did I infer what happened between the two pictures? Yes. I've written about the monkeys arriving at the Jeep and stealing Robert's hat. Did you? Wonderful work. And check number three, have I written in the past tense. Let's have a look at my verbs are they all past tense verbs. Yes, they are. Are yours? Incredible, well done. Another fantastic piece of writing your brilliant.
