 RELATIVE CLAUSES

Relative clauses may be defining or non-defining

Defining relative clauses give essential information to the understanding of main clause.
Non-defining relative clauses give extra information, which is not essential to understand the
main clause. Therefore, there must be a comma before the relative clause and a comma or full
stop after it.
Defining relative clauses Non-defining relative clauses
We use: We cannot use that in non-defining
who(m) to refer to people; relative clauses and we can never omit
Which or that to refer to things; the relative pronoun.
Where to refer to places;
Whose to refer to people in the possessive
cases.

PRACTICE N2
1. Fill in the gaps with the appropriate relative pronouns.

John, ___________ plays tennis for two hours every day, won the contest.
The game ___________ you lent me had a virus.
Where is the notebook ___________ was near the computer?
Instead of reading books, I prefer playing computer games, ___________ are really my favourites.
The information technology teacher, ___________ is new at school, taught us how to
download pictures from internet.
What was the name of the girl ___________ had that interesting homepage?

2. Join the sentences to the relative clauses between brackets. You will get 6 non-defining
relative clauses.

Example: My mother has gone to see a doctor. (My mother has been ill.)
My mother, who has been ill, has gone to see a doctor.

The new football manager wants the team to train harder. (None of the players like him.)
_________________________________________________________________________
The director has decided to call a meeting. (It will start at 6 oclock this afternoon)
_________________________________________________________________________
Mary goes jogging every day. (Her house is near the park)
_________________________________________________________________________
In July Im going to London. (My sister lives in London)
_________________________________________________________________________
The new disco is very popular with young people. (It only plays great music)
_________________________________________________________________________
My English teacher suffered an accident. (His home town is New York)
_________________________________________________________________________
 RELATIVE CLAUSES

When we want to join two sentences together to give more information about people
and things, we often use a relative clause.
He enjoyed the film. He saw yesterday.
He enjoyed the film that he saw yesterday.
(main clause) (relative clause)

We use the relative pronouns that, who, which to introduce relative clauses
- We can use that with people, animals and things.
- We can use who with people.
- We can use which with animals and things.

1. Complete the captions for these pictures. Use relative clauses with that and the expres-
sions from the box bellow.

- Ive won for tennis - I hang around with - I go to - I usually read. - we have to do.
- works in our local shop - I got for my birthday - lives next door

This is the school This is the magazine This is the boy This is the man
________________ ___________________ that lives next door. ______________

These are some These are the friends These are some This is a Geography

LESSON 2

Zero conditional

present tense + if present tense

The zero conditional expresses that something is (or was) always true.

First conditional

if present tense + will + base form

The first conditional describes a probable future situation. If the condition is ... find some
sandwiches in the fridge. Compare the zero and the first conditionals: If I drink too much,
I usually get a hangover the following day. (zero conditional referring to a general situation; a
true fact. If I am invited to Molys party I wont drink much to avoid the bothering hangover.
(1st conditional referring to a possible future action)

Read carefully and then underline all the past perfect structures.

Then change the false information into true:

At the age of nineteen, and to the horror of her parents, Sylvie had a heart tattooed on her shoul-
der. Eight years later, a lot has changed in Sylvies life, but the tattoo is still there. How does she
feel about it now?

Well, one decision I now regret is getting this tattoo. Id always liked the idea of having one. I
really thought they looked good and some of my friends had them. I felt a bit scared about how
much it would hurt, and I knew that my parents would hate the idea, but one day I got this done.
It seemed like a really good idea at the time, my boyfriend really liked it and I think if he hadnt
been so keen I wouldnt have done it. My parents were completely horrified, of course. I remem-
ber my dad saying hed never seen a girl with a tattoo, and he hoped he never would again, but
