Unit 2: Relationship



A.



Relative clauses



Relative clauses give us more information about the person, animal or thing we are talking about. They begin with a relative pronoun like who, whom that, which and whose or a relative adverb like where and when. We use



• Who or that to talk about people Example: Is he the man who sold you the tickets?



He’s the lifeguard that saved my life.



• Whose to say that something belongs to someone. Example: That’s the photographer whose photos I admire.



• That or which to talk about animal or things. Example: The dogs that work with the police are well trained.



The clock which hangs on my wall is an antique.



• Where to talk about places. Example: This is the café where I first met him.



• When to talk about time Example: I moved here when I was five years old.



• In American English, whom is not used very often. "Whom" is more formal than "who" and is very often omitted while speaking: However, "whom" may not be omitted if preceded by a preposition because the relative pronoun functions as the object of the preposition: Example: The visitor for whom you were waiting has arrived.



Notes: Relative pronouns can be left out when they are the object of the relative clause. Example: The main circuit board (which/that) you have inside your system is called the motherboard.



1. Defining relative clauses We use defining relative clauses to give essential information about the animal, person or thing we are talking about. Without the information in a defining relative clauses, the sentence would not make sense. We do not use commas in this type of clause. Example: He’s the man who/ that lent me this umbrella.



There is a hotel that/ which has some rooms under the sea. 2. Non- defining relative clauses We use non-defining relative clauses to give extra information about the person, ENG103_Bai 2_v2.0013106215



35



Unit 2: Relationship



animal or thing we are talking about. This information is not essential to the meaning of the sentence. Non-defining relative clauses are separated from the main sentence by commas. Non-defining relative clauses begin with who (for people), which (for things or ideas), whose (for possession), when (for time) and where (for location). We do not use that in non-defining relative clauses. Example: Mr. Jones, who teaches at my son’s school, is a member of the drama group.



Rembrandt, whose paintings are extremely valuable now, was Dutch. 3. Some special uses of relative pronouns in restrictive clauses that / who When referring to people, both that and who can be used in informal language. "That" may be used to refer to the characteristics or abilities of an individual or a group of people: Example: He is the kind of person that/who will never let you down.



However, when speaking about a particular person in formal language, who is preferred: Example: The old lady who lives next door is a teacher.



that / which There are several cases when that is more appropriate than which: 1) After the pronouns "all," "any(thing)," "every(thing)," "few," "little," "many," "much," "no(thing)," "none," "some(thing)": Example: The police usually ask for every detail that helps identify the missing person.



2) After the noun modified by an adjective in the superlative degree: Example: This is the best resource that I have ever read!

Strong and weak auxiliaries



1



In a full sentence auxiliary verbs are not normally stressed. Often a weak form or a contraction is used. Listen and practice.



/də/ Do you want to hear it? John, you’re not listening to me. /ə/ Are you still going out with your sister tonight?



2



When the auxiliary is used for emphasis or stand alone without a main verb, it is never weak. Often it is stressed. Listen and practice.



Of course I do. I am listening, darling. I think I am. She hasn’t phoned yet. 3 B.



Listen and practice the dialogues, pronouncing the auxiliaries correctly. Sentence stress



1. Listen to the sentence below. Notice how the most important words are stressed, and where the speaker pauses (//). An Australian woman travelling home from Melbourne // was driving down a narrow road on dark evening // when she entered a tunnel. 2. Listen to the next sentence and underline the stressed words. Although a little surprised at this // as she had not noticed a tunnel on that route before // she carried on. 3. Which words do you think will be stressed in this sentence? Listen and check. But after half an hour of twisting and turning // she ran out of petrol. 4. Practice reading the three sentences together, paying attention to the stress. C. 1



Making conversation Mark the sentences S if they are useful for starting a conversation and E if they are useful for ending a conversation.

2



Listen and mark the sentences P if they sound polite, C for casual but friendly, and R for rude.



3



Intonation is important if you want to sound polite. When people are being polite, they generally start high and use a wide range of intonation. When they are not being polite, they use a narrower range of intonation.



Listen again to exercise C1 and copy the intonation on the recording.
