A. Presentation (10 minutes)
-
Teacher introduces 2 kinds of relative clauses.
1. Identifying and non-identifying relative clauses.
1. Identifying relative clauses.
1. 1. Identifying relative clauses gives information which is essential to the meaning of the sentence. It makes clear which person or thing we are talking about.
The man who lives at number 36 has been arrested
The book that you gave me on my birthday is very interesting
1.2. Cleft sentences: It + be+ noun/ pronoun + identifying relative clauses.
It was Tom who helped us ( not Bill or Jack)
It was Ann that I saw ( not Mary)
With proper noun, that is more usual than who. That is usual for non-personal subjects.
It’s speed that causes accidents, not bad roads.
2. Non- identifying relative clauses gives information which is not essential to the meaning of the sentence.
Non-identifying relative clauses have commas at both ends unless this is also the end of the sentence.
Mr Brown, who lives at number 36, has been arrested.
I’ve invited Linda, who lives in the next flat.
The Hilton hotel, which we stayed at while we were in New York, is expensive.
Note:
a. “that” cannot be used in non-identifying relative clauses.
b. “which” can refer to a whole clause.
He didn’t pass the exam, which surprised all of us.
c. Object pronouns in non-identifying clauses must be used
Nam, who/whom we met yesterday, is my neighbor.
d. In non-identifying relative clauses after numbers, and words like many, most, neither, some, both, several, few, we use of before whom and which.
Her sons, both of whom work abroad, ring her up every week.
I saw several houses, most of which were quite unsuitable.
