Homework (to start in class): p. 181 practice 7 (all)
part A
3 who takes care of children; who = doctor; no comma (it defines the type of doctor)
4 who is our neighbor; who = Dr. Jones; commas before and after the adjective clause
5 who studied; who = students; no commas
6 who studied together; who = Gabriela and Trinh; commas before and after the adjective clause
7 which is a holiday; which = Monday; comma before the adjective clause
8 that is especially fun for children; that = holiday; no commas
---
p. 182 practice 8A- Put the adjective clauses into the correct independent clauses, and add commas where necessary.
1 They gave their boss, who was celebrating his 50th birthday, a Rolex watch.
2 The purse that is lying under the chair is hers.
3 Alice, who is my best friend, moved to New York last month.
4 She is living in an apartment which has a view of Central Park.
5 Uncle John, who owns a yacht and a jet, is a billionaire.
6 A person who has love has everything.

“an apartment” and “an apartment which has a view of Central Park” do NOT mean the same thing, so the view of central park is defining information and we can’t use a comma.

“Alice’s apartment” and “Alice’s apartment, which has a view of Central Park” DO mean the same thing (if Alice has one apartment), so we use a comma for the extra information
---
p. 183 part B - Combine the sentences for 3-6. The first sentence is an independent clause. The second one should be changed into an adjective clause.
3 Mr. and Mrs. Haddad, who are from Lebanon, are very traditional.
4 Jamila is the oldest daughter in the Haddad family, who immigrated to this country seven years ago.
5 Her parents want her to marry a man who/that is 32 years old.
6 The husband-to-be lives in Lebanon, which is a country in the Middle East.
7 He owns a business that/which is very successful.
8 People who/that know him say he is very nice.
9 Jamila, who wants to go to college in her new country, ran away from home rather than marry the man.
10 Mr. and Mrs. Haddad, who thought they had arranged a good future for their daughter, don’t understand why she ran away.
