Defining relative clauses
1 Read the rules and find examples for each rule
in the All about me profile on page 72.
RULES
1 We can use the relative pronouns who,
which and where when we refer to people,
things and places.
2 We can use that instead of who and which.
3 We can use whose for possession.
4 We put prepositions at the end of a
relative clause.
More practice Workbook page 59
2 Join the sentence halves with where, who,
whose and which.
1 I know a man …
I know a man who has got weird sideburns.
2 Do you know the village …
3 Can we watch the DVD …
4 Is there a shop in town …
5 These are the boys …
6 Surfing is something …
7 They are the parents …
a you got yesterday?
b I often spend time with.
c has got weird sideburns.
d I can buy a video game?
e child I sometimes look after.
f I’d like to have a go at.

Non-defining relative clauses
4 Study the sentences from the listening on page
73. Which is the relative clause in each sentence?
Match sentences 1–5 with rules a and b.
1 Wendy Nichols, who is from London
University, is a phobia psychologist.
2 You meet people who’ve had similar problems.
3 I just keep away from places where there are
a lot of people.
4 I was supposed to go to Barcelona, where I
had a meeting, but I couldn’t board the plane.
5 Ben, whose job includes travelling, has a
phobia of flying.
RULES
a A defining relative clause gives important
information about the noun. The sentence
doesn’t make sense without this clause.
b A non-defining relative clause gives extra
information about a noun. The sentence
makes sense without this clause. We don’t
use that with these clauses.
5 Combine the two sentences to make one
sentence. Use a non-defining relative clause
with who, which, where and whose.
Tom plays basketball brilliantly. He’s very tall.
Tom, who’s very tall, plays basketball brilliantly.
1 Marc speaks French. His dad comes from Paris.
2 My sister sings in a band. She lives in Dublin.
3 Last summer, I visited Ireland. My father was
born there.
4 I can’t find my new coat. I bought it last week.
5 My uncle has got a yacht. He’s very rich.
6 Jan works for a big company. It makes toys.
6 ACTIVATE Write five sentences about famous
people. Then read them to your partner for

Lady Gaga, lives in Buckingham Palace.
