Introduction

Hi grammarians! Yesterday, we reviewed relative pronouns in sentences. Today, we will learn about relative adverbs. 

Relative adverbs look a lot like our typical "question words." They are where, when, and why. 

Where tells us place, when tells us the time, and the why tells us reasons.

Introduction

This week our focus is going to be on text structures. Author's use text structure to organize and focus their text. Today, we will be focusing on the cause/effect text structure.

Cause and effect is when one event causes a result to happen.
