Please go on to page 25, now. VOCABULARY, collocations with´say´ and ´tell´.These are set phrases in English and you have to learn them as they are. For example, the collocation in ex.

A. ...they know how to tell their friends from their enemies. This means that they recognise the difference between their friends and their enemies. 

Please look at the collocations in the box and see if you can complete the senteces. 

Now, in GRAMMAR we are going to look at relative clauses. Do you remember the relative pronouns that we studied last year? (Who, which, that, whose.) 

Please watch this video. It will explain the difference between a defining and non-defining relative clause. It isn´t difficult. 

Watch this several times, if necessary. Take your time!:

Now, look at the GRAMMAR box. I have given you the answers to A, B, and C. 

Relative clauses

A. Use who or that to refer to people.                 

     Use which or that to refer to things or ideas.

B. Look at the extracts.........                                                         

• Which of the two is incomplete without the relative clause?      Answer: The first sentence. (Wasn´t Diogenes the philosopher who the ancient Athenians called the ´dog´?)                        
• In which of the two sentences does the relative clause give       additional information?                                                Answer:In the second. (Diogenes, who lived in a tub, was only a poor philosopher.) O sea, esta informacion está demas.       Agrega mas informacion, nomas.                                                
• What is the difference in punctuation in the two sentences?     Answer: In the second sentence, the non-defining clause is    enclosed by commas.                                                                        

C. The first sentence above (Wasn´t Diogenes....) is a defining        relative clause.                                                                                 

     The second sentence above (Diogenes, who lived...) is a non-defining relative clause.                                                                                                                                     

Please look at Grammar Reference, too, on page 140. 

Now, please do PRACTICE, on page 25. I´ll help you with a few. 

1. Coffee is a drink which many people like to drink in the morning. (defining relative clause. The information is necessary.)

2. Elizabeth Brown, who writes children´s books, is giving a talk at our college. (non-defining relative clause. The information between the commas is extra information and is not necessary)

Ok, afterwards, please do GRAMMAR  in workbook, pages 14 and 15, exercises B and C, and LISTENING, D.
