3. Warm up: 2 Truths & 1 lie
Instructions:
1. One volunteer says three statements about themselves: 2
true and 1 false.
2. The rest of the class vote on which statements are true and
which is false.
3. After the volunteer has shared their statement and the
group has decided which statement is false, the volunteer
will reveal which statements were true and which one was
false.

4. Welcome!
What do you recall from last class?

5. Possessive adjectives &
Possessive pronouns
01
What do you know about
them ?

6. Possessive adjectives are
used to show possession
or ownership of
something. While we use
them when we refer to
people, it is more in the
sense of relationship than
ownership.
They modify the noun.
POSSESSIVE
ADJECTIVES

7. As with possessive adjectives,
we use possessive pronouns to
indicate who owns something,
but with pronouns we don’t
use a noun. We use possessive
pronouns when it is clear
which object we are referring
to.
Julie's car is red. Mine is
blue.
POSSESSIVE PRONOUNS

9. In pairs, create a short story using
possessive adjectives and pronouns.

Let’s practice!

10. Relative pronouns
What can you say about
them?
02

11. We use relative pronouns to introduce relative clauses. Relative clauses tell us
more about people and things:
• Mrs. Rodriguez , who is 76, has just retired.
• This is the house which Jack built.
• Marie Curie is the woman that discovered radium.
We use:
Who for people = 'The person who lives next door is a doctor.’
Which for things = 'The car which you bought is cool.’
Whose = is used to show ownership/possession 'The woman whose son you
met.’
That for people or things. ‘That’ Can be used informally instead of ‘who’ and
‘which’.
RELATIVE PRONOUNS

12. Relative adverbs are used like relative pronouns:
When = is used for a time. 'The time when I last saw you.'
Where = is used for a place 'The place where I used to live.'
Why = is used for a reason 'The reason why I am late.'

14. RELATIVE
CLAUSES

15. A clause is a group of words that contains a
verb (and usually other components too). A
clause may form part of a sentence or it may
be a complete sentence in itself.
For example:
He was eating a bacon sandwich.
WHAT IS A CLAUSE?

16. We use relative clauses to give extra information about
something. We can get more information into a sentence
without the need to start a new one. Relative clauses are non-
essential parts of a sentence. They may add meaning, but if
they are removed, the sentence will still function
grammatically.
I want to live in a place where there is lots to do.
Yesterday was a day when everything went wrong!
Einstein, who was born in Germany, is famous for his theory of
relativity.
In the summer I'm going to visit Italy, where my brother lives.
RELATIVE CLAUSES

17. A defining or essential clause tells us which specific person or thing
we are talking about in a larger group of people or things. If a
defining relative clause is removed, the meaning of the sentence
changes significantly. A defining relative clause is not separated
from the rest of the sentence by commas or parentheses.
Examples
- The woman who visited me in the hospital was very kind.
- The umbrella that I bought last week is already broken.
- The man who stole my backpack has been arrested.
RELATIVE CLAUSES: DEFINING

18. A non-defining or non-essential clause gives us more information
about the person or thing we are talking about. If a non-defining
relative clause is removed from a sentence, we lose some detail, but
the overall meaning of the sentence remains the same. Non-defining
relative clauses are always set off from the rest of the sentence with
commas or parentheses.
Examples
- The farmer, whose name was Fred, sold us 10 pounds of potatoes.
- Elephants, which are the largest land mammals, live in herds of 10
or more adults.
- The author, who graduated from the same university I did, gave a
wonderful presentation.
- My mother, who is 86, lives in Paris.
RELATIVE CLAUSES: NON-DEFINING

19. - The girl, who is on high heels, is very nice.
- I was shier when I was a boy.
- My sister was the person who cut the flower.
- The woman who is wearing a red dress is my mom.
- My aunt, who bought me the penthouse, died last week.
- The store ,where I bought the red dress, is very expensive.
- I loved candy when I was a girl.
- That dog, which is playing, is mine.
- The man who drives that car is my brother.
MAKE SENTENCES USING RELATIVE
PRONOUNS

20. RELATIVE
PRONOUNS AS
SUBJECTS AND
OBJECTS

21. If the relative pronoun is followed by a verb, the relative pronoun is a subject
pronoun. Subject pronouns must always be used.
the apple which is lying on the table
If the relative pronoun is not followed by a verb (but by a noun or pronoun),
the relative pronoun is an object pronoun.
the apple (which) George lay on the table
