Activity 2: Observe and discover
Discuss the following questions.
1. Which word does the relative clause modify?
2. What do that/which and who modify respectively?
3. How does the meaning of the main clause change if we remove the relative clause?
The relative clause modifies the noun before it (the antecedent) in each sentence.
That/which modify things (objects).
Who modifies people (persons).
The main clause still keeps its basic sentence structure, but it loses the specific description. The sentence becomes more general and less specific.
