Why a custom relative clauses quiz works better than a generic answer key

Printable answer keys for relative clause exercises are easy to find, but they seldom match the sentences your teacher covered. A grammar quiz on relative clauses with answers built from your own material tests the exact patterns you are learning, such as who versus which and when commas are needed.

  • Multiple-choice items for choosing who, which, that, whose or where
  • True/false items on commas and defining versus non-defining clauses
  • Open questions that ask you to combine two sentences with a relative clause
  • Explanations that point back to the rule for every answer
Example relative clauses grammar quiz questions with answers
Choose the correct word: The woman ___ called the police was our neighbor.who. It refers to a person and is the subject of the verb 'called.'
Does 'The book that I borrowed is overdue' need commas?No. The clause is defining because it identifies which book is meant, so commas are not used.
Is 'that' correct in this sentence: 'My father, that works in Boston, called today'?No. Use 'who' for a person or 'which' after a comma; the clause adds extra information, so it needs 'who' set off by commas.
Fill in the blank: The city ___ I grew up has changed a lot.where. It replaces a place noun inside the relative clause.
Which pronoun shows possession: 'The student ___ essay won the prize is in my class'?whose. It shows that the essay belongs to the student, replacing 'of which' or 'the student's.'

Relative clauses trip up many learners for the same reasons: choosing between who, which, that, whose and where, and knowing whether the clause defines the noun or adds extra detail. A quiz with explanations shows why each answer is correct, which helps more than a bare key.

Generate a fresh set whenever you finish a unit, then review the questions you missed until the rules feel automatic.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between defining and non-defining relative clauses?

Defining clauses identify which noun is meant and take no commas, as in 'the book that I borrowed.' Non-defining clauses add extra information and are set off by commas, as in 'Ohio, which is my home state.'

When should I use 'that' instead of 'which' in a relative clause?

Use 'that' in defining clauses. In non-defining clauses, use 'which' after a comma, since most style guides avoid 'that' there.

Can I get a printable version of the quiz?

Yes, the Plus plan exports quizzes to PDF and DOCX. The Free plan lets you study in the browser, with 3 generations per month.
