A simple way to teach it

Before the lesson

Use learner pages 1–2; keep the answer key on page 3 separate until feedback.

  1. Read the lost-bag exchange and identify the yellow strap, woman and station.
  2. Complete the lost-property items and join sentences with who/that, where and whose.
  3. Write unnamed person, object and place descriptions for a partner to guess.

Support and extension

Accept who/that for people and which/that for things. Object relative pronouns may be omitted, but subject pronouns may not; do not repeat the object inside the clause.

Suggested approach. Adjust the pace and number of questions to suit your class.
