Relative Pronouns and Relative Adverbs is a Grade 4 English worksheet with 10 multiple-choice questions focused on identifying dependent clauses and the relative pronouns or relative adverbs used within them. Students analyze complete sentences featuring clauses introduced by words such as who, which, and when, then select the specific clause or signal word requested in each item. This free printable worksheet helps students connect sentence structure to the words that introduce additional information about people, places, events, or things. It is useful for guided grammar instruction, independent practice, review, or a quick check of understanding after teaching dependent clauses and relative words. The worksheet includes a complete answer key so teachers can quickly review students’ choices and address confusion between a dependent clause, an independent clause, and an individual word. A digital quiz version is also available on Wayground.

This Grade 4 English worksheet uses 10 multiple-choice questions to have students identify dependent clauses and the relative pronouns or relative adverbs within complete sentences. By selecting answers such as “who,” “which,” or “when” and locating clauses such as “who can teach me to speak French,” students practise separating a dependent clause from the surrounding independent clause.
First, model one of the worksheet’s sentences by marking the dependent clause and circling the relative word that introduces it. Then have students read each sentence, bracket the clause requested in the question, and identify the target word before choosing an answer. Ask students to explain why a complete sentence portion is not the dependent clause when reviewing items such as the sentences about tacos, friends, and a favorite author.
Students may choose a nearby noun or verb instead of the full dependent clause, such as selecting “tacos” or “speak French” rather than the entire clause. They may also select the whole sentence, confuse the independent clause with the dependent clause, or overlook the signal word when identifying who, which, or when. Review the sentence boundaries and have students read the selected words together to check whether they form the clause named in the question.
You can assign Relative Pronouns and Relative Adverbs as a printable PDF or as a digital quiz on Wayground. The worksheet includes a complete answer key, and printable submissions can be graded by scanning student work with the Wayground for Teachers app. The printable format also supports instruction when your school is reducing screen time.
Use the worksheet’s Advanced Settings to adjust font spacing or choose a larger font size, making the complete sentences and dependent-clause choices easier to track. You can also apply a dyslexia-friendly font or translate the worksheet into another language while students work through the multiple-choice items.
