Unit 1:Relative clauses: review 

1. We use relative clauses to add information about the subject or object of a sentence. 

2.  Relative clauses are introduced with words like 

• who, that, which, where and whose. 

• We use who or that to refer to people.
  
• He’s the man who / that wrote the article.
  
• We use which or that to refer to things.
  
• The newspaper which / that gives the best news is The Daily Standard.

3.  We use where to refer to places.

• That’s the building where my sister works.
  

We use whose to refer to possession.

• She’s the woman whose house got destroyed in the flood.
  

Relative clauses:
The man ... car was stolen was on the news

1. which
2. whose
3. that
4. who

Relative clauses describe or give extra information about something.

1. true
2. false

Relative Clauses:
The village in .........I lived had really changed

1. that
2. which
3. whom
4. who

Relative Clauses:

Defining relative clause

A defining relative clause gives essential information about the thing or person we are talking about. In this case we do not use a comma.

• The man who works in this office is very intelligent.
  
• (= I am talking about the only man who works in this office.)
  

Non-defining relative

4. A non-defining relative clause gives information that is simply additional about the thing or person we are talking about. The extra information is between commas.

• The man, who works in this office, is very intelligent.
  
• (= I am talking about an intelligent man and adding the non-essential information that he works in this office.)
  

Unit 2: what clauses

1. 1 The word what can be used to mean the thing that, and can be used as the subject or object of a verb. 

• What (the thing that) makes me angry is the way he talks to people. (subject)
  
• I can’t remember what (the thing that) he said. (object)
  

2.  When what begins the sentence, we can use words like that / why / when (etc.) to join the second part of the sentence.

 

• What you don’t understand is that people are all different.
  
• What I don’t like is when people want me to be the same as them.
  

Defining relative clauses give us...

1. Extra information
2. Essential information

Grammar 2 Non-defining relative clauses

2. no, we can't

Non-defining relative clauses give us...

1. Extra information
2. Essential information

There are 2 kinds of relative clauses: defining and non-defining clauses. But in one of them, you are not allowed to use THAT. Which one is that?

1. Defining relative clause
2. Non-defining clause

True or false about relative clauses?

een 'relative clause' is een zelfstandig naamwoord

gebruik je als je extra info over iets/iemand wilt geven 

je kunt who/which/that ook altijd weglaten

een bijzin staat altijd tussen komma's 

who/whom/which gaat over mensen

that gebruik je bij personen, dieren of dingen

whose geeft bezit aan

Verbs + gerund/infinitive review 

Some verbs (remember, stop, try) can be followed by a second verb in either the gerund form or the infinitive form. The form of the second verb depends on the meaning of the sentence. 

Remember

• I remember phoning her to invite her. (= I phoned, and I remember that I did that.)
  
• I remembered to phone her and invite her. (= I nearly forgot to phone, but I remembered and then I phoned.)
  

Stop

• The teacher stopped talking and left the room. (= The teacher was talking, then she stopped and left the room.)
  
• When I was walking down the street, I stopped to talk to a friend of mine. (= I stopped walking, and after I stopped I began to talk to a friend.)
  

Try

I tried closing the door but I could still hear the noise. (= It was noisy outside. I closed the door. When the door was closed, I could still hear the noise outside.)

I tried to close the door but it was stuck. (= I wanted to close the door, and I tried, but I was unsuccessful.
