Pre-intermediate Unit 8a

This unit introduces and practices defining relative clauses using 'who,' 'which,' 'that,' 'whose,' 'where,' and 'when.' It explains how these clauses provide essential information about people, things, possessions, places, and times. The unit presents example dialogues and sentences to illustrate the usage of each relative pronoun/adverb and provides exercises to reinforce understanding. The grammar point emphasizes the interchangeability of 'that' for 'who' or 'which' in certain situations.
