60-second Quick Read

  • Students identify clauses embedded inside noun groups or other structures, distinguish them from dependent clauses functioning around a main clause and punctuate restrictive and supplementary information clearly.
  • Example: The embedded clause expands ‘sensor’ but is not the main message. Remove it temporarily to reveal the core clause: ‘The sensor was recalibrated.’
  • Common trap: Every dependent clause called embedded. Embedding concerns structural position.
