IDIOM follow through on your swing

follow through in your work

 

follow up- get in touch with somebody again

 

dig into- research, read about, investigate, gather information, explore, eat

Dig in! Bon appetite!

 

IDIOM sweet spot- Doing exercise three times a week is the sweet spot for me. It’s the Goldilocks zone.

 

 

More complicated, in-depth description – use adjective clauses

e.g. I love the tea that my sister makes from flower petals.

complicated ideas – my sister made it, made from flower petals

 

 

 

ALTERNATIVES:

I love the tea that my sister makes from flower petals.

I love the tea made from flower petals.

BASIC  I love the tea (which is) made from flower petals.

I love the tea made from flower petals by my sister. AWKWARD

 

VERB TENSE -

I love the tea that my sister makes from flower petals. simple present

I love the tea which is made from flower petals. simple present and passive voice

 

I loved the tea which my sister made from flower petals. simple past

 

CONFUSION – made- simple past and participle

 

I love my sister’s flower-petal tea. adjective

 

 

 

More complicated ideas- use an adjective clause

***

Three most common pronouns for adjective clauses: who that which

 

*** 95% of the time- who that which ***

 

Other less commonly used pronouns for adjective clauses: whom, where, whose

 

PARTICULAR POINT OF CONFUSION

whom – rarely used, very fancy sounding, sounds like a grammar book

Native English speakers rarely use ‘whom’.  We say ‘who’.

 

MY ADVICE: Forget about ‘whom’. It is not important.

e.g. The woman to whom I was speaking is my sister. GRAMMAR BOOK

The woman I was talking/speaking to is my sister. VERY AUTHENTIC

The woman who I was talking/speaking to/with is my sister. SOUNDS GREAT

 

Joe, whom I work with, is a great colleague.

 

One exception about ‘whom’. writing to someone, don’t know who will be receiving the letter

GREETING for an impersonal business-type letter:

To whom it may concern,

Not an everyday occurrence. Pretty rare.

e.g. business letter, reference letter

 

FORMAL SOUNDING ENGLISH  preposition + whom

to whom   from whom   with whom  

With whom were you speaking? EXTREMELY FORMAL STYLE, STIFF, SERIOUS

Who were talking to? CASUAL

 

Pick your tone. What impression are you trying to make?

 

Wedding invitation- very formal language

Mr. and Mrs. Chen request the honor of your presence at the nuptials of their daughter…

RSVP

MEANING: Please come to our daughter’s wedding.

 

Pick your tone. Time and place.

 

 

 

FOCUS ON HIGH-FREQUENCY WORDS: who that which – 95% of the time

 

*who – used for people, any people, sounds nice, sounds polite and respectful, you can use it for all people

 

*that- things that are not alive, animals, people (sounds a little disrespectful, sounds like you don’t like that person)

SUBTLETY IN ENGLISH, signal your opinion of a person:

The guy that my sister married is a creep. adjective clause

creep- a person who gives you a weird negative feeling, makes you feel uncomfortable

 

The man who my other sister married is awesome. adjective clause

That people that did not respect me are now out of my life.

The people who are my true friends will always be with me.

 

‘that’ -tricky word in English, many uses in English

Who is that? Not an adjective clause, sounds polite

Who is that woman you were talking to?

That is a beautiful baby!

Is that your son? -sounds ok

 

*which- special things (special to you), unique things

This is a watch that I bought last week. not special, just a watch

I really like the watch which my dad gave me for my 18th birthday. special

 

She has a diamond wedding ring which her husband gave her.

wedding ring – which

bracelet

necklace

anklet

 

necklace that your grandmother gave you – which

 

toothbrush – that                                        

glasses- that

 

*which – special things, unique things

special things- You decide if it is special to you.

I have a silver ring which my son gave me. a special thing to me

She has a necklace which her son made for her.

Mei is wearing the jade necklace which her grandmother gave to her.

Shirin is wearing the jade necklace that her grandmother gave to her. (sounds like a regular necklace, not special)

Clara put the picture which her son painted for her up on the fridge.

                                                                         

*unique things- only one in the world

Beijing, which is the capital of China, hosted the 2022 Olympic Summer Games. unique

GOOD RULE OF THUMB: only one, put commas around it

 

Edmonton, which has a huge indoor mall, is in northern Alberta.

Marta visited the Eiffel Tower, which is in Paris.

Marta visited the Eiffel Tower that is in Paris. XXX sounds like there are several Eiffel Towers

Marta visited the Starbucks that is on Robson Street.

The CN Tower, which is in Toronto, has the Edgewalk.

 

skiing- Green Runs, Blue Runs, Black Runs
