Grammar Trinity Level 7 - Tabla

This document summarizes several English grammar concepts: 1. The second conditional is used to talk about hypothetical or unlikely situations in the future. It uses the structure "if + past simple, would + base verb". 2. "Used to" expresses habits or repeated actions in the past that no longer happen. 3. Passive voice structures the sentence with the object of the action before the subject, and uses "be + past participle". 4. Relative clauses add information about a noun, using relative pronouns like "who", "which", "that", "when", or "where". Defining clauses are essential to the meaning while non-defining clauses provide extra details.

CONNECTORS PASSIVE SIMPLE RELATIVE CLAUSES


Active: We use relative clauses in sentences to give information about the noun (or the noun phrase) in the preceding clause.
[Thing doing action] + [verb] + [thing We connect the clauses using relative pronouns (that, which, who, when, where).
receiving action] Who = for people
 The students do the exam. Which = for animals or things
 Miquel de Cervantes writes Don Quijote. That = for people, animals or things (only in defining relative clauses)
When = for time
 My father cooks dinner every day.
Where = for places

2. Non defining relative clauses.
These are used to add extra, non-essential information. Without this information, the
sentence would still make sense.

difficult at first.
