Week Two


Interchange Chapter Fourteen - Behind the Scenes - Relative Clauses Continued and Review

Warmer: Passive Find Someone who….

Grammar Re-presented:

How to Use Relative Clauses

Use relative clauses to provide extra information. This information can either define something (defining clause), or provide unnecessary, but interesting, added information (non-defining clause).

Relative clauses can be introduced by:

  • a relative pronoun: who (whom), which, that, whose
  • no relative pronoun, Ø.
  • where, why and when instead of a relative pronoun

You need to consider the following when deciding which relative pronoun to use:

  • Is the subject or object or possessive of a relative clause?
  • Does it refers to a person or an object?
  • Is the relative clause a defining or non-defining relative clause?

NOTE: Relative clauses are often used in both spoken and written English. There is a tendency to use non-defining relative clauses mostly in written, rather than in spoken, English.

Interchange 12 - Reading from Interchange 3 " Bollywood" p. 97

Victoria Exercises for Relative Clauses and Board game extension.

Making Relative Clauses Chain Gang:

Ss. in pairs make two sentence about the same person or thing. Without making a one sentence, they pass the paper on to the next pair. Each pair make two pairs of sentences doubled spaced on lined paper. After the full rotation through the class the pairs work on combining the paired sentence into one sentences. If it is not possible, correction are made through monitoring by the Teacher. The sentences are posted, reviewed and corrected in a mingling activity by the entire class. The pair with the most correct sentences wins a prize TBA on Monday.

Vocabulary Review:

See Handout in Resource File.
