🔗 The Girl Who Lives Here — Relative Clauses

This A2 Teens lesson teaches relative clauses — one of the most powerful tools for making English sound natural. You'll learn how a single relative pronoun can replace repeated nouns and combine two short sentences into one smooth, descriptive one. The lesson covers the three core pronouns (who for people, which for things, that for both in casual use) plus two essentials (where for places, whose for possession), explains when each is the natural choice, and warns against the most common A2 mistake: doubling the subject ("the boy who he lives here"). Four magazine stories show the grammar in real teenage voices: Tevita describes his new Auckland friends with repeated who, Amara walks through Lagos's Balogun Market using which and that, Selin retraces family memory through Istanbul with where, and Aleksa uncovers a Belgrade family secret through whose. The lesson includes 10 vocabulary items, six flashcards pairing short sentences with their combined forms, eight colour-coded fill-in-the-blanks, a speaking task describing people and places in your life, a writing task creating a portrait with relative clauses, and an 8-question quiz.
