It is asking you to identify the relative clause.
Let's practise
Underline the relative clause in the sentence below.
The village where I grew up has become a town.
- Read the question carefully and read it again. What is it asking you to do?
Show me
- Find the nouns in the sentence.
Show me
The nouns are village and town.
- Check if the nouns are followed by a clause beginning with who, which, where, when or that.
Show me
The noun village is followed by where, which is the beginning of the relative clause.
- Now, find the end of the clause by identifying all the words that relate to it.
Show me
The clause where I grew up tells you about the village, and so does has become a town.
- The sentence must make sense if you remove the relative clause, so check that it does.
Show me
The village isn't a sentence. The village ... has become a town makes sense as a sentence. The village where I grew up has become a town.
- Check your answer.
