Call My Bluff
How to use defining relative clauses to define an object, a person, or a place
A2 Iona Sharp
A stile is an object... 1) ... which is used to carry water from a river 2) ... which lets people climb over a fence in the countryside 3) ... which makes light in the dark, like a lamp.
A teetotaller is a person... 1) ... who only drinks tea 2) ... who buys a lot of T-shirts 3) ... who doesn’t drink alcohol
A barn is a place... 1) ... where farmers keep animals or crops 2) ... where doctors work with sick people 3) ... where students live when they go to university
Now it's your turn!
1) In your group, choose three unusual words that you think no one else in the class will know. One word must refer to a thing (object), one to a person, and one to a place. You can look for these online. 2) Write three definitions for each word using defining relative clauses and the correct relative pronoun. Remember: only one definition should be correct—the other two must be incorrect. 3) Notice: after the pronouns which and who, we use a verb; after the pronoun where, we always need a subject. 4)The pronouns which and who can be replaced with that. 5) Quiz the rest of the class to see if they can guess your correct definitions!
