III Grammar

(24’) Presentation:

- T gives Ss 3 examples:

+ Ex1: The woman is very friendly She lives next door

+ Ex2: This is the novel Shakespeare wrote this novel

+ Ex3: The girl is very nice I talked about her yesterday

Teacher – whole class

- T asks Ss to combine each pair of sentences into 1 sentence using relative pronoun

Expected answer:

+ Ex1:  The woman who/ that lives next door is very friendly

+ Ex2:  This is the novel which/ that Shakespeare wrote

+ Ex3:  The girl whom/ that I talked about yesterday

is very nice

- T underlines the relative pronouns and asks Ss:

“What is the function of these relative pronouns?”

Ss: Ex1: Subject,

Ex2: Object,

Ex3: Object of preposition

- T points to each relative pronoun and asks Ss:

“Can we omit it?”

- T gives explanation and rewrites the sentences:

+ Ex1: Can’t omit, (Subject)

 The woman who/ that lives next door is very

friendly

+ Ex2: Can omit, (Object)

 This is the novel Shakespeare wrote

+ Ex3: Can omit, (we can omit the relative pronoun and put the preposition after the verb of relative clause)

 The girl I talked about yesterday is very nice

- T gives Ss some Notes:

+ Relative pronouns of defining relative clause “who, whom, which, that” can be omitted when they are objects of the verb.

+ But we can’t omit:

a Relative pronouns after a comma (in a non-defining relative clause).

b Relative pronouns after a preposition.

c “Who, which, that” as a subject.

Ex:

a Dam Vinh Hung, who sings very well, is a famous singer.

b The house in which he lives is very old.

c The diamond ring which/ that is bought by Mary is expensive.
