Relative pronouns (like who, which, and that) and relative adverbs (like where, when, and why) help us connect two thoughts into one smooth sentence. They tell us more about a noun or pronoun that came before. For example, instead of saying, 'I met a boy. He can juggle,' we can write, 'I met a boy who can juggle.' Using these words keeps your writing exciting and easy to read!

Building Stronger Sentences in Sixth Grade
By sixth grade, students are transitioning from simple sentence structures to more complex, sophisticated writing. Relative pronouns (who, whose, whom, which, that) and relative adverbs (where, when, why) act as essential linguistic bridges. Mastery of these parts of speech helps students combine thoughts smoothly, avoiding repetitive or choppy sentences. While this skill is introduced in fourth grade, sixth-grade review ensures students can confidently select the correct word in formal writing—especially when deciding between 'who' and 'whom' or choosing the right relative adverb to establish clear relationships of time and place.
How to Support Practice at Home or in Class
- Identify the Antecedent: Encourage kids to look at the noun right before the blank to decide if they need a person (who), a place (where), or a time (when).
- Read Aloud: Encourage students to read sentences aloud to hear if the clause sounds complete and natural.
- Use in Writing: Challenge students to combine two short sentences using a relative pronoun in their next writing assignment.
