Teaching aids

A projector and a blackboard. Teaching procedures & ways Step ⅠGrammar review T: We have learned enough about the restrictive attributive clauses before. Let’s have a summary. Attributive clause is the clause that modifies a noun. That is, a sentence with an attributive clause is a combination of two shorter sentences. In an attributive clause, we must use conjunctions: Relative pronouns who / whom / which / whose / that. The most important part of attributive clauses is the connectors, namely the conjunctions that connect the two sentences, and they function in the clauses differently. Here are 11 sentences. Please underline the connectors and tell their functions in the clauses. Show the following sentences on the screen.

1. The man who is now talking to our English teacher comes from America. (subject)

2. Mary is the girl whom / who I just talked with. (object)

3. This is the book which I like very much. (object)

4. I want to buy a house which faces south. (subject) 5. How I wish I could have the same car as you have. (object)

6. Do you know the person that is wearing a red hat? (subject)

7. I can’t read the book that you bought, because it is too difficult. (object)

8. Yesterday I met Tom, whose father is a doctor. (attributive)

9. Can you see the book whose cover is red?

(attributive)

10. Do you still remember the time when we lived in the countryside? (adverbial of time)

11. They visited the house where comrade Zhou Enlai once lived and worked. (adverbial of place)

Then let the students pay attention to some difficult points as follows.

The use of “that”:

sometimes “that” can’t be used, for example,

a. They are boys with whom I went to school. (object, after preposition, “that” is not used)

b. The case to which you are referring to is now closed. (object, after preposition, “that” is not used)

c. I told the story to John, who later did it to his brother. (subject, non-restrictive attributive clause, “that” is not used)

d. His speech, which bored everyone, went on and on. (subject, non-restrictive attributive clause, “that” is not used)

But sometimes it must be used, for example,

a. This is all that I want to say. (after: all, few, little, much, something, nothing, anything, everything, any, every, no, some, “that” must be used, if it is not the subject, “that” can be omitted.)

b. I agree every point that he referred to just now. (“that” can be omitted)

c. This is the most beautiful place that I have ever seen. (after superlatives or ordinal numerals, “that”can be omitted)

d. This is the very book that I want to borrow. (after: the very, the only, the same,

object, “that” can be omitted)

e. They talked of things and persons that they remembered in the school. (after both person and thing, object, “that” can be omitted)

The last important point is: where, when, that, etc. for example,

a. This is the museum which / (that) we visited last week. (object)

b. This is the museum where (in which) my father once worked. (adverbial)

c. Do you still remember the days which / (that) we spent in the countryside? (object)

d. Do you still remember the days when (during which) we worked in the countryside? (adverbial)

e. The reason which / (that) he provided was not what we expected. (object)
