The suffix -al

in a word ( expected: the suffix –al changes the word-class of the word.)

Activity 1: Noun of adjective ( task a, p.135)
- Ask SS to read and decide if they are noun
of adjective Write N or A next to the words
- Tell SS to compare answers with a partner

Reduced Relative clauses
- write on the board some sentences with
relative clauses:
- Ask SS what these sentences have in common (expected : they all contain a relative clause.)
- Tell SS to rewrite the sentences in other possible ways:
- underline the phrases and tell SS to pay attention to these
- tell SS these are non-finite clauses (to-infinite phrase, present participle and past participle phrases) reduced from relative clauses
- elicit and introduce different ways of reducing relative clauses
1 To-infinitives can be used to replace Re
clauses when the preceding noun/pronoun
contains the first/second, etc , the next, last,
only, and the superlatives.
We can leave out the noun (except after only)
if the meaning is clear
To-infinitives can also be used to replace relative clauses when there is an idea of purpose or permission
2 Present participles can be used to replace relative clauses when the verb in the clause is active
This structure is often used when the verb in the clause is in progressive tense, expresses a habitual or continuous action, or a wish
- ask SS to do exercise in the textbook and correct them
Ex: a Louis Armstrong was
the first man who landed on the Moon.
b the man who is talking to the manager is my new flat mate
a Louis Armstrong was the first man to land on the Moon.
b the man talking to the manager is my new flat mate.
.
Ex: - the boy waiting outside is her classmate.
- People working in his office have to wear uniform.
