Step III

Discovering useful structures

1.

have a revision of the Attributive Clauses(definition, relative noun ,relative verb) 2.

comparison

let Ss have a comparison between two attributive clauses, then find the similarity and difference between them, guide Ss to the difference between restrictive clauses and non- restrictive clauses

He is one of the students who have won a scholarship. Frederick William I, to whom the Amber Room belonged, decided not to keep it.

Restrictive attributive clauses

Definition: 限制性定语从句是先行词在意义上不可缺少的定语，如果去掉，主句的意思就不完整或失去意义。这种从句和主句的关系十分密切，写时不用逗号分开。限制性定语从句中做宾语的关系代词常可省略。如：

What is the name of the tall man who just came in ?

Non-restrictive attributive clauses

Definition: 非限制性定语从句从句和主句关系不十分密切，只是对先行词作些附加说明，如果去掉，主句意思仍然清楚。这种从句和主句之间往往用逗号分开，一般不用that 引导。非限制性定语从句中, 关系词不可省略。如：

Beijing,

which is the capital of China, has a very long history.

Task three

Practice Join the pairs of sentences using attributive clauses.
