Reduced Relative Clauses / Participle Clauses (Participle Clauses replacing Relative Clauses)

(TESOL Ideas and Worksheets Subdivisions)

[Note: I've seen this same grammar point refer to in various ESL books as "Participle Clauses", "Reduced Relative Clauses" and "Reduced Adjective Clauses"]

* I used The Knight Who Was Afraid of the Dark to introduce Reduced Relative Clauses.  We read through the story together, and then I highlight some sentences like "long ago in a time known as the Dark Ages" and "his faithful electric eel wound round his arm." and "flinging her arms around Sir Fred" (this last one not a reduced relative clause, but a good example of an active participle clause.)
