OBJECTIVES1. Relative clauses2. Listening practice3. Oral presentation a news report (sport, environment,
education etc.) two minutes speaking about one topic. ( December the 6th ) 1 picture in PowerPoint.
We use relative clauses :• to give additional information
about something without starting another sentence.
• By combining sentences with a relative clause, your text becomes more fluent and you can avoid repeating certain words.
- “Peter is the student” + “He comes from Glasgow”:
“Peter is the student WHO comes from Glasgow”.
- “The books are on the table” + “They are mine”:
“The books WHICH are on the table are mine”.
>> It would be easier with a relative clause: you put both pieces of information into one sentence. Start with the most important thing
Do you know the girl who is talking to Tom ?
1. Subject and Object Relative clauses give extra information about a noun
in the main clause. They can refer to this as subject or object.
“That’s the woman who bought my car”
“That’s the flat that I was looking for”
2. Combining sentences Note how sentences are combined.
Subject : “This is Sofia. She bought my car”
“Sofia is the person who bought my car” Object :
“That is the flat. I was looking for it” “That is the flat that I was looking for”
