Link Ideas Clearly: Relative Pronouns for Class 5

This Grade 5 worksheet introduces learners to relative pronouns like *who, which,* and *that*, which connect ideas and give more information about a noun. Through underlining, blanks, sentence corrections, dialogue creation, and paragraph building, students gain confidence using these important connectors in everyday writing.

Why Relative Pronouns Matter in Grammar?

Relative pronouns improve sentence flow and clarity. For Grade 5 students, they are important because:

1. They help join two related thoughts in a sentence.

2. They reduce repetition by replacing nouns.

3. They improve the structure of both narrative and factual writing.

4. They prepare students for advanced sentence construction in middle school.

🧠 Exercise 1 – Underline the Pronouns
