A simple way to teach it
Before the lesson
Give learners page 1 and retain the page 2 key for checking. The personal responses are examples, not answers learners must copy.
- Expand someone looking and a building marked into full relative clauses in the station example.
- Complete A about a visitor, local product, struggling person and wrongly sent message; explain a useful response.
- Reorder B's waiting person, market bread and forgotten train bag questions, then use full relatives to check their meanings.
Support and extension
Use -ing for active descriptions and past participles for passive meanings. Keep the phrase beside the noun it describes; reducing every relative clause mechanically can change meaning.
Suggested approach. Adjust the pace and number of questions to suit your class.
