6. Objectives: To talk about stress To use relative pronouns in adjective clauses Identify subject and object pronouns Combine two sentences using a relative pronoun

7. Turn to your textbooks on pg. 87 Complete section 5 on your own.

8. Adjective Clause When do you use them? Adjective clauses (or relative clauses) are used to give additional information about something without adding another sentence. Adjective clauses help your text become more fluent and avoid repetitive words.

9. An adjective clause will… 1) contain a SUBJECT and a VERB 2) begin with a RELATIVE PRONOUN (who, whom, that or which) 3) function as an ADJECTIVE and answers the questions What kind? How many? Or Which one?

10. Examples of an adjective clause The person who speaks French is making bread. The adjective clause “who speaks French” gives information about the noun “the person”

11. Examples of an adjective clause The woman that plays the piano is a teacher. The adjective clause “that plays the piano” gives information about the noun “the woman”

12. Examples of an adjective clause The man whom I met at the baseball game was very kind. The adjective clause “whom I met at the baseball game” gives information about the noun “the man.”

13. Relative pronouns The relative pronouns who, whom, which and that link and introduce an adjective clause (or relative clause) to another part of a sentence.

14. Which should you use? Who and Whom always refers to people. Which always refers to things or ideas. That can refer to people, things, and ideas.

15. Let’s practice! Kathy loves the man ____ plays basketball. A) who B) which

16. Kathy loves the man who plays basketball. WHY? Since “the man” is a person, we use the word who.

17. The book ______ I got from the library is due tomorrow. A) that B) who C) which

18. Answer: The book that I got from the library is due tomorrow. WHY? Since “the book” is a thing, you can only use that or which. However, that is used instead of which because, the adjective clause, “that I got from the library,” is NEEDED to identify the noun. If the relative clause is not needed and it just gives us additional information, then which should be used.

19. Try it yourself! Turn to page 88 and complete exercises 1-3.

20. Relative Pronouns as Subjects Relative pronouns introduce adjective clauses! Relative pronouns can be the subject or the object of a sentence. Ex: Mary who loved Martha is very sweet. Who is the subject and who is the object? What is the relative pronoun? Mary is the subject, Martha is the object and who is the relative pronoun.

21. The subject performs the action The object receives the action. The relative pronouns contains a pronoun and introduces the adjective clause.

22. Identifying subject pronouns Subject pronouns replace the subject of a sentence with I, you, he, she, it, we or they. Rewrite each of the sentences and replace the subject of each sentence with its correct pronoun (I, you, he, she, it, we or they).  The thief stole the expensive diamonds.  The elegant lady walked into the hotel.  The green palm trees were growing abundantly.  The lid of the box was left wide open.

23. Check your answers: 1) He/she stole the expensive diamonds. 2) She walked into the hotel. 3) They were growing abundantly. 4) It was left wide open.

24. Identifying object pronouns Object pronouns replace the object of the sentence with me, you, him, her, it, us, or them. Rewrite each of the sentences below. Replace the object of each sentence with its correct pronoun. 1) The Titanic was built by engineers. 2) The woman carefully wrote to her son. 3) The chimney was on the roof. 4) The mouse ran through the crowd.

25. Check your answers:  The Titanic was built by them.  The woman carefully wrote to her him.  The chimney was on it.  The mouse ran through them.

26. Relative clauses can combine two sentences I told John. John then told Sam. I told John who then told Sam. You try! Combine and rewrite this sentence: The mother lives next door. The mother needs a baby sitter. Answer: The mother who lives next door needs a baby sitter.
