Gram-mar
(27mins)
Exercise 1: Choose who, whoever, whose, whom or which… to complete the following sentences. ((12mins)
Revise how to use reduced relative clauses
-We can use relative clauses to join two English sentences, or to give more information about something.A defining relative clause tells which noun we are talking about:
I like the woman who lives next door. (If I don`t say `who lives next door`, then we don`t know which woman I mean).
A non-defining relative clause gives us extra information about something. We don`t need this information to understand the sentence.
I live in London, which has some fantastic parks.(Everybody knows where London is, so `which has some fantastic parks` is extra information).
-We can use `who`, `which` or `that`. We use `who` for people and `which` for things. We can use `that` for people or things.
The relative clause can come after the subject or the object of the sentence. We c an`t drop the relative pronoun. ---We don`t use `that` in non-defining relative clauses, so we need to use `which` if the pronoun refers to a thing, and `who` if it refers to a person. We can`t drop the relative pronoun in this kind of clause, even if the relative pronoun is the subject of the clause.
-If the verb in the relative clause needs a preposition, we put it at the end of the clause
-`Whose` is always the subject
