Period 8 Consolidation of grammar
Teaching objectives: ? To have more practice on the usage of attributive clauses
Teaching procedures:
I. Consolidation of Grammar: 1. HW checking out—C1
2. Additional practice—this part focuses on situations in which relative pronounces and relative adverbs are used
Tell Ss that when , where or why can’t be used to introduce an attributive clause if the antecedent is used as the subject or object in the clause though
they refer to a time or a place or a reason.
Examples are as follows: ? Shanghai is the first city that Eric visited in China. ? The city that/which gives Eric a deep impression in China is Shanghai. ? Shanghai is the city where Eric’s grandfather used to work. ? He will always remember the days that/which he spent in America. ? He will always remember the days when he studied in America. ? No one knows the reason why he changed his mind.
