See you at 1:30
Good afternoon.
Today’s agenda:
1. Summer school – Intake form
Tomorrow, I will meet with everyone one-on-one to discuss your work so fa, and to decide what you would like to do in the summer.
Last names beginning A-M we will meet individually in Zoom from 1:30-2:00
Last names beginning N-Z we will meet individually in Zoom from 2:00-2:30
2. Summer school – I will be teaching EF5/6, 8:30-12:00.
Probably we will meet online for 90 minutes.
The grammar and sentence work will mostly be the same.
The stories will be different.
Therefore, if you would prefer to wait until September to do a tougher class like English 10 in just five weeks, the summer EF5/6 would be a good review so you don’t forget everything.
I do not know what I will be teaching in September.
As soon as I know, I will put it on the blog.
English Foundations 7 = English 10
violin = fiddle
Idiom: Six of one, half dozen of the other.
You have to say this stuff out loud a hundred times, or you will forget it in three days.
It goes from short-term memory into long-term memory.
We don’t our new English to be just in our short-term memory. We want it in our long-term memory.
FREE ADVICE #6: The secret of learning something new is careful repetition.
3. Continue with adjective clauses – prepositions
4. Rosa Parks

We will write a paragraph about Rosa Parks on Friday. You can try out your new knowledge of topic sentences.
Review Adjective clauses
who - people
that - things
which – special things, unique things
where – place
The city that she was born in is very far away.
The city where she was born is very far away.
where S V no prep
The place that I live in is nice.
The place where I live is nice.
The school where I teach is on Fraser Street.
The school that I teach at is on Fraser Street.
If you are interested in learning more about ‘where’ in adjective clauses, please look it up.
TWO STYLES OF WRITING ADJ CL:
I was talking to the girl who lives next door.
who lives next door ‘who’ is a subject pronoun
The girl who I was talking to lives next door.
who I was talking to ‘who’ is an object pronoun
who I was talking to
The girl I was talking to lives next door.
Very natural authentic-sounding English to omit the ‘who’.
My dog who is asleep on the couch is very friendly.
‘who’ is a subject pronoun – leave it alone
The dog that I play with is very friendly.
‘that’ is an object pronoun – can omit it
The dog that I play with is very friendly.
The dog I play with is very friendly.
Maybe this is too hard for you right now. It might be something you come back to in the future.
Exercises:
Expand each simple sentence with an adjective clause. Try all the different styles that we have been learning. Mix it up.
1. The cat stretched.
2. Jacob stood on his tiptoes.
3. The car turned the corner.
4. Kelly twirled in circles.
5. She opened the door.
She opened the door that was locked.
She opened the door that I had locked.
She opened the door I had locked.
6. Aaron drew a picture.
7. The little kid was very happy.
8. We were dancing to music.
9. Sarah baked a cake.
10. I took a class.
She who is my sister opened the door. XXX
‘she’ pronoun, doesn’tnormally go with adj cl.
noun + adj cl
Sheila who is my sister opened the door.
Sheila who is my sister who is older than me opened the door that I locked. 3 adj cl- No problem.
Sheila who is my sister and is older than me opened the door that I locked. 2 adj cl
Sheila who is my sister is older than me opened the door that I locked. XXX No subject for ‘opened’
Sheila who is my sister is older than me. She opened the door that I locked.
Every subject needs a verb. Every verb needs a subject
We will keep working on this. You will get it, but you may not it all today. It might a few days. I will keep teaching and referring back to these sentence styles for the rest of the course.
