Okay, I see many people in the chat now.

Hi, everybody on YouTube.

I see Rachael Rendall markets in high.

Moy says.

True.

Hello.

Ah, and on Facebook, I see Carlos or in Hello, I need an amnio and Erik all kinds of people.

Great.

Sounds good.

It was timed out by night, but that's hilarious.

Excellent.

So I'm going to share the video, and then I'm going to get started with today's lesson.

We have a lot to cover today, so I hope I can get through everything we'll see.

It'll be a challenge.

Maybe.

Ah, but I hope also one more point before I start.

I hope also you share your ideas throughout today's live stream.

So in red, it's small.

I have some prompts for you.

So as I'm explaining things, you can use this to make your own sentence and send it in the chat.

And I will try to check it live if I can't catch shares.

I'm sorry.

I will try to check everything live, but I may miss yours.

Okay, so let's get it started first.

Let's begin over here.

What is a relative clause?

What is a relative clause?

This is today's focus grammar point.

A relative clause is like a long adjective.

So adjectives are words that give us more information about knowns.

So, for example, interesting or boring or beautiful or delicious, these are all adjectives.

A relative clause is like a group of words together that has the same function, or it acts the same way as an adjective.

So this is what we're going to focus on today to give lots of details in our sentences.

So the second point relative clauses give us extra information about now, so let's take a look at two examples.

Both of these sentences use relative clauses.

1st 1 My phone, which is an iPhone success, has terrible battery life these days.

So one more time my iPhone or sorry, My phone, which is an iPhone success, has terrible battery life.

These days, this sentence uses a relative clause.

Second example.

I like the movies that Christopher Nolan makes.

I like the movies that Christopher Nolan makes.

So these sentences both use relative clauses.

They are here in this sentence and here in this sentence.

So there are two kinds of relative clauses were going to talk about both of them today.

So first point about making this about giving extra details With today's grammar point, relative clauses begin with something called a relative pronoun, a relative pronoun.

For today we're going to focus on three relative pronouns.

They are that which and who So when you make a relative clause the basic form of a relative clause, the first word will be a relative pronoun in this case, my phone, which is an iPhone success, which is a relative pronoun, it begins my extra information here.

Same thing in this sentence.

I like the movies that Christopher Nolan makes here.

My relative clause is this part and it begins with that.

So this is a relative pronoun these a relative brownout.

So how do we know which one to use?

Do I use that?

Do I use which do I use you for?

Today we're going to look at these three relative pronouns.

You can use that And who, when you're talking about people, people here.

So in this case, I'm talking about a phone in my first example sentence in my second example sentence.

I'm talking about movies.

So these air both objects.

We're going to practice people later.

Second, you can use that or which four objects.

So objects that means things, not people you might also here.

Sometimes people use who to talk about their pets as well.

I'm not going to talk about pets in my example sentences today, but for your information.

So, uh, another common question, though, is what's the difference between that and which, like, in this case, that in which for objects, But how do I decide?

Should I use that for which this point is a little more advanced, so I will cover it briefly for today.

The difference is in what's called restrictive relative clauses and non restrictive relative clauses.

So these, like, really like complex air may be difficult to understand words, but they mean a restrictive clause is something that gives us essential information essential information about the now.

So this means if I don't have this relative clause, I don't understand the noun.

So, for example, in this example sentence, I like the movies that Christopher Nolan makes.

If I remove the relative clause here, my sentence becomes I like the movies and run.

We don't know, like, what does that mean?

I like the movies, will, Which movies we don't know.

So that means we have tohave.

We must have this information to understand this.

Now, if we do not have this information, we cannot understand this now.

This sentence is an example of a restrictive relative cloth, so that means we must have the information in these types of sentence.

We use that as the relative pronoun.

On the other hand, the other type where we use which it's used in what's called a non restrictive relative clause so non restrictive.

So meaning not it's the negative form.

A non restrictive relative clause is a clause giving just extra information.

We don't have toe have the information to understand the noun.

It's like a bonus, kind of.

So this example sentence uses a non restrictive relative clause.

My phone, which is an iPhone success, has terrible battery life these days.

So again, my test if I removed hard truth mirror if I remove the relative clause, the sentence becomes My phone has terrible battery life these days, so I can understand.

The sentence is easy for me to understand.

I know exactly the topic, my phone.

So when we use a non restrictive relative clause, we can use which to begin also, when you use a non restrictive relative clause, use commas.

It's hard to see in the live stream.

Use commas.

Set it off with commas here, so there's a comma at the beginning and a kama at the end of the claws.

So this is a punctuation point as well.

So my comment I will get to your comments now was to share about the work of your favorite creator.

So I said, I liked the movies the Christopher Nolan makes.

I think I saw a few of you sending some comments.

Uh, odd.

Gertrude is maybe I love the Batman movies that Christopher Nolan makes her.

I love the bat.

The Batman stories that Christopher Nolan tells.

Great.

Uh, some other examples.

Lots of people are just saying Hello.

Hello, everybody.

So yeah, uh, share.

It's hard to see Share about the work of your favorite creator.

So you can use this as a pattern if you like.

I like movies or TV shows or the music that someone makes.

Sweetheart says I like the games that she that Hideo Kojima makes Perfect.

Very nice example.

Very nice example.

I like the games that he D O Quilty.

Momix.

Uh, que Lau says I like the dinosaurs which are stored in the museum.

Good.

I like the dinosaurs.

Make sure to use the plural form for your accountable knowns, and then your verb needs to match.

Yeah.

Leah says I like the lessons that Alicia makes.

Thanks, Leah.

Okay.

Other examples.

Mmm mmm, mmm.

Mmm.

Maybe a Miguel says I like my games, which is an Xbox.

360 husband starts.

So maybe I like my gaming.

Let's see my gaming system.

So make your subject the topic of your discussion.

My gaming system, which is an Xbox.

360.

Has good storage.

Something like that would be perfect on Facebook.

Jason says I like the books that Edgar Rice Burroughs.

Right.

So I don't know that author.

Very nice, though.

I like the books that he writes.

Okay.

Other ones.

I like my friend, who always helps me with my problems.

Great.

Great.

So that sounds like you have other friends who don't help you with problems, So good.

Good.

Nice examples.

Uh, Christina on Facebook says my job, which is teaching English, is a rewarding occupation.

Agree?

Agree.

Absolutely.

Very nice examples.

Okay, Fantastic.

Fantastic.

With that, let's take one quick break, and then we're going to practice combining information in a different sentence pattern.

So great examples.

Keep them coming.

We'll take one quick break and then continue to point number two before today.

So, uh, I'm going to share a couple.

I shared a couple already today.

I showed this over here.

I'll show it over here.

Today is a grammar point.

We're covering a grammar point.

So that means you can use it in many different situation, So I haven't shown.

I don't think all of these in a while.

If you have not checked out the PDS, there are many different topics you can download for free.

I show the business one a lot.

There are lots of different situations, and on the back of each of these is a list of good vocabulary words and expressions and sometimes questions to know for these cases for these life like everyday life situation.

So please have a look.

Please take electric.

Check the link below the video on YouTube or above the video on Facebook to get these.

This is a really good one for this topic when you want to describe a specific thing that you want to buy, like a specific color or a specific size or something.

The shopping one.

This is a great example of a situation where you use this grammar point quite a lot, so check these out from the link below the video on YouTube or about the video on Facebook you're watching on Instagram.

Please get this stuff from the link on YouTube or Facebook, and also I cannot see your comments in real time.

Sorry.

Okay, So with that, let's continue to 0.2 for today.

Uh, also, if you have not already, please make sure to like and share today's videos.

Other learners can find the lesson.

Okay, let's continue to part two Part two for today.

In this part, we're going to practice giving details in one sentence.

So we're going to practice putting two ideas together.

So sometimes I hear learners say something like, I bought a TV.

The TV is really cool or the TV was really cheap.

They break things into three sentences, two or three sentences.

So this point, what we're going to practice now is how to put those ideas together.

We're going to use a non restrictive relative clauses to do this, so I'll explain with two examples.

I'll give you kind of ah strategy to practice this on your own two.

And as I'm talking, you can think about a comment for yourself.

So for this portion, your homework, I guess if you're watching live or after, is to use this pattern to make a sentence about a person in your life.
