<b>B. Grammar :</b>

<b>Non-defining and defining relative clauses.</b>

Example:

<i><b>-New York Harbour</b></i><b>, which is ice-free in all seasons, </b><i><b>is one of </b></i>
<i><b>the largest and finest habours in the world.</b></i>

<i><b>- The book </b></i><b>which I am going to lend you</b><i><b> is given to me by the </b></i>
<i><b>author.</b></i>

<b>-- > Notes: There are two kinds of Relative Clauses.</b>

* We use defining relative clauses to give <b>essential information</b> to
define or identify the thing we are talking about. Obviously, this is
only necessary if there is more than one thing involved.

* We use non-defining relative clauses <b>not to definite or identify </b>
<b>things but to add more information to the things</b> we are talking
about. Without this additional information, the sentence still makes
sense because it is already clear what things we are talking about.

<b>Exercise 1: </b><i><b>Underline the relative clauses in these sentences, and </b></i>
<i><b>indicate if they are defining (D) or non-defining (ND) . Add a </b></i>
<i><b>comma where required.</b></i>

1. Washington D.C. which is located on the East Coast of the United
States has many interesting and historical places to visit.

2. Brasilia which is located on the Grannadá River became the
capital of Brazil in 1960.

3. Mexico City which has a population of nearly 20,000,000 is the
largest metropolitan area in the world.

4. Seoul which hosted the 1988 Summer Olympics is well-known
for its shopping centres.

5. Kyoto which used to be the capital of Japan has many temples.

<b>Answer keys:</b>

All the relative clauses in this exercise are non-defining because
they serve to give additional information only.

1. Washington D.C., which is located on the East Coast of the
United States, has many interesting and historical places to visit.
2. Brasilia, which is located on the Grannadá River, became the
capital of Brazil in 1960.

3. Mexico City, which has a population of nearly 20,000,000, is the
largest metropolitan area in the world.

4. Seoul, which hosted the 1988 Summer Olympics, is well-known
for its shopping centres.

5. Kyoto, which used to be the capital of Japan, has many temples.

<b>Connecting contrasting ideas: ATHOUGH</b>

<b>Example: Although </b>New York is not the capital of the USA. It
is the home of the United Nations.

- T introduce the
grammar point through
eliciting from Ss

- T explains why we
call them non-defining
relative clauses.

- T gives more
examples

- T elicits the rules
from the students.

- T has Ss read the
sentences carefully then
discuss in order to
decide where the
relative clauses are.
- T explains the relative
clause carefully and ask
Ss to decide which

clauses are defining or
non defining clauses.
- Ss work alone to do
the task.

- T goes around to
control and collect Ss’
mistakes.

<b>Notes: </b>

+ Form: The subordinate clause with “although” can come either
before or after the main clause. Don’t use “although” together with
“but”.

+Meaning: in spite of the fact that

+Use: We use this conjunction to contrast ideas.
Although/ though + clause

Despite/ In spite of + noun phrase/ v-ing

Ex: I prefer living in the countryside although there is not much to
do there.

<b>Exercise 2</b>: <i><b>Combine the following sentences using ALTHOUGH</b></i>.
1. There is not much to do in the countryside. I prefer living in the
