About this activity

"In this game, you will learn about different types of clauses in English and their functions in sentences.

You will also explore the specific functions of each clause type:

Noun clauses: act as nouns, forming the subject or object of a sentence.
Adjective clauses: modify a noun or pronoun.
Adverbial clauses: modify verbs, adjectives, or adverbs, and specify when, where, why, or how something happens.
