🏋️ Defining Relative Clauses (Who / That / Where) – Reps: 2×8

Add extra information clearly. Keep the sentence stable.

⚠️ RULE
👀 Read → 🗣 Speak → ➡️ Keep normal word order
Don’t pause before the relative word.

Example:

She’s the person who called me.

❌ Not: who did call me

SET 1 – Who / That (People & Things) (2×8)

Keep it smooth. No inversion.

  1. She’s the person who helped me.
  2. He’s the guy who fixed it.
  3. That’s the place that closed early.
  4. It’s the movie that won the award.
  5. She’s the one who knows the answer.
  6. That’s the problem that caused it.
  7. He’s the friend who lives nearby.
  8. It’s the idea that makes sense.

    9. SET 2 – Where (Places) (2×8)

    Keep the verb order normal.

  9. This is the place where I work.
  10. That’s the city where she grew up.
  11. It’s the restaurant where we met.
  12. This is the room where it happened.
  13. That’s the house where he lives.
  14. It’s the park where they play.

✅ Finish when

You don’t pause before “who / that / where.”

You don’t change the word order.

The full sentence flows naturally without restarting.
