4 Amanda Kitts is learning to do things that we take for granted.
5 Bionics can help people who have lost limbs.

take for granted = treat as a given (we always have it and don’t have to think about it)
limb = arm or leg

Grammar: defining relative clauses

clause = a group of words with a subject and verb
relative clause = a clause that “relates to” the noun before it
	(These are sometimes called adjective clauses, because they describe nouns.)
relative pronoun = “that” or the question word that can begin a relative clause
	The relative pronoun refers to the noun that the clause describes.
defining / identifying / restrictive = the clause gives information that is necessary to know which noun(s) we’re talking about

I like all of my students who do their homework every day. (defining)
	= I like that specific group of students, not necessarily all the students. Just the ones who do HW.
I like all of my students, who do their homework every day. (non-defining)
	= I like all of my students. Also, by the way, all of my students do their homework every day.
---
relative pronouns:
who = person or people
which = thing or things
that = “who” or “which” if it’s NOT after a preposition or comma
whose = possessive (in relative clauses, it could mean “its” or “their”, not only “his” or “her”)
when = a time
where = a place
(why = a reason)

p. 119 part 7 - Write the correct relative pronoun (sometimes two answers are possible)
1 who/that
2 who/that
3 which/that
4 when
5 where
6 whose

the area of bone where the limb is attached (The limb is attached there.)
the area of bone to which the limb is attached (The limb is attached to it.)
the area of bone which the limb is attached to
the area of bone that the limb is attached to
the area of bone the limb is attached to

- We can remove “that” if it isn’t the subject of the relative clause
	(We generally do remove it if the meaning is clear. If it makes the meaning less clear, leave it in.)

A ward is a part of a hospital where patients (of a particular type) stay.
	(maternity ward, geriatric ward, oncology ward)

A technician is a person who works in a lab or with hospital machines.
Surgery is a medical procedure where a doctor cuts into the body to fix something.

Grammar: second conditional = present/future unreal conditional

If you had the opportunity to live on Mars, would you go? Why or why not?
- This conditional is unreal because I know it’s not true now (or I don’t expect it to be true in the future).

form:
if + [past without “was”], subj + would/could/might + base form
OR
subj + would/could/might + base form + if + [past without “was”] (no comma)
meaning:
We know it’s not true (or won’t happen), but we’re just imagining.
could = would be able to
might = maybe would

If I had a million dollars, I could buy a house.
	- This doesn’t tell you anything about what I want to do. It only says I’d have enough money.
---

3 Would it be
4 would happen (if we’re sure) / might happen / could happen (if we’re not sure), melted
	(If it’s not about ability, “could” and “might” have similar meanings.)
5 would...change, increased
6 could we learn / might we learn
