ACTIVITY # 3: Review Language in Use

PURPOSE:• To review the use of time clauses.INSTRUCTIONS:•Work in pairs.•Read and listen carefully the explanation about Time Clauses.•Discuss the examples presented on the next slide.

ACTIVITY # 3: Reviewing Language in use: TIME CLAUSES

• Phrases that begin with words such as: while, when, whenever, before, after, as soon as, until, since, etc. are classified as TIME CLAUSES. Time clauses are a type of dependant (subordinate) clause and are usually paired with a main (independent) clause to form a complete sentence.

• For example, consider this sentence: “While I was eating lunch, the fire alarm rang.” In this case, the time clause, “while I was eating my lunch,” lets us know when the main clause, “the fire alarm rang,” occurred.

• Look at the examples of time clauses in next slide. Notice that when a time clause appears at the beginning of a sentence, it is separated from the main clause by a comma. When the sentence begins with the main clause, no comma is needed.

I got your number from Sandy Grazer.A: Ah, what can I do for you? B: If you’re not busy, I wanted to ask you a few questions about your work and how you got started as a professional writer.A: Well, I can tell you that I didn’t start off as a columnist. I was still in school studying literature when I took a parttime job at what was then called The Richmond Gazette.That paper doesn’t exist anymore, but at the time, theyhired me to write the police report section. I say “write”but all I did was summarize the major crimes that thepolice reported. I got my first break during the electionsin ‘72. They were short staffed and asked me if I’d go outand cover the state elections. I’d say that that is when Iactually started writing. You know, I think that it’s a lotharder now to get into the business than it used to be. B: Why is that?A: Well, there are a lot of good, young writers out there,and a lot of them are looking for work. You know thatsummer in ´72 when they first sent me out, I didn’t haveany real experience. These days, when they hire writers,most of them have been published in their collegenewspapers or written a blog. Back then people like mecould get lucky and start from zero.
