Unit 5: Surfing, scrolling and swiping

Unit 5

This unit is all about technology: you will read, speak and write about it and listen to it. Apart from tech vocab you will learn how to apply phrasal verbs. The grammar of this unit is focussed on relative clauses and modal verbs. You will also practise with CAE Listening part 1, Speaking parts 3 and 4 and UoE part 4.

Let's start with talking about memes :)

  Relative clauses

where

why

Defining

Non-defining

So, with defining relative clauses

We get essential information about a person, object, situation, etc. Without it the sentence wouldn't make any sense.

Characteristics:

1. No commas used on either side of the clause.

2. accompanied by relative pronouns: who, which, whose, where, when, why.

3. who and which can be replaced by that.

4. who, which and that can be omitted when they are the object (lijdend vw).

So, with non-defining relative clauses

We get extra information about a known person, object, situation, etc. 

Characteristics:

1. Commas used on either side of the clause.

2. accompanied by relative pronouns: who, which, whose, where, when.

3. who and which can NOT be replaced by that.

4. who, which and that can NOT be omitted when they are the object 

(lijdend vw).

Not:

why!

That's the man ______ daughter has won the lottery.

1. Defining relative clause
2. Non-defining relative clause

That's the man ______ daughter has won the lottery.

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

The painting, ______ was finished in 1850, is one of the most representative works of that time.

1. which
