1. Introduce some sentences on the board that have a repeated noun. 2. Asking students to join the two sentences, avoiding repeating the noun. 3. Eliciting different relative pronouns used to connect sentences such as which, who, whose, when, and where. 4. Why do we use relative pronouns? 5.Ask students to do exercise 1 p 58
A non-defining clause, also known as a nonrestrictive relative clause, provides additional information about a noun or pronoun, but the information is not essential to understand the meaning of the sentence. Non-defining clauses are set off by commas. For example: "My sister, who is a doctor, lives in New York." In this sentence, the non-defining clause "who is a doctor" provides additional information about the speaker's sister, but it is not essential to understanding the sentence. The sentence would still make sense without the non-defining clause. It is important to use commas to set off non-defining clauses, as they distinguish between information that is essential to the meaning of the sentence and information that is not.
