Game: word
formation.
-divide the class into
small groups and give
each group a piece of
paper.
- write down a list of
words on the board and
ask the groups to form
as many new words as
possible from the words
given. Tell SS they can
change the spelling if
necessary.





This is the list of
words:



-Pictures
- chalk
and board

Educate read
nation
Approve deny




- set a time limit and
have SS start the game.
- when they have
finished, collect the
pieces of paper and
check with the class.
- the group with more
correct words will win
the game.
- Ask SS: + what do you
add when you form new
words? ( expected:
prefixes or suffixed)
+ what does a prefix of
suffix do to the word

stem? ( expected:
change the meaning or
word-class of the word)

The suffix -al
- elicit from SS the
function of the suffix –
al in a word ( expected:
the suffix –al changes

the word-class of the

word class, that is, noun
or adjective.

- Verb + al =
noun
E.g.: survive + al
= survival.
- noun + al =

- go over the answers
with the class and check
if they know the
meanings of these
words.
Activity 2: gap-filling
(task b, p.136)
- Tell SS to read the
sentences and fill in
each blank with a
suitable word from the

Reduced Relative
clauses
- write on the board
some sentences with
relative clauses:
- Ask SS what these
sentences have in
common (expected :
they all contain a
relative clause.)
- Tell SS to rewrite the
sentences in other
possible ways:
- underline the phrases
Ex: a. Louis
Armstrong was the

first man who
landed on the Moon.

b. the man who is
talking to the
manager is my new
flat mate
 a. Louis
Armstrong was the
first man to land on
the Moon.

and tell SS to pay
attention to these.
- tell SS these are non-
finite clauses (to-infinite
phrase, present
participle and past
participle phrases)
reduced from relative
clauses.
- elicit and introduce
different ways of
reducing relative
clauses.
1. To-infinitives can be
used to replace Re.
clauses when the
preceding noun/pronoun
contains the
first/second, etc , the
next, last, only, and the
superlatives.
new flat mate.

Textbook







We can leave out the
noun (except after only)
if the meaning is clear.
To-infinitives can also
be used to replace
relative clauses when

there is an idea of
purpose or permission.
2. Present participles
can be used to replace
relative clauses when
the verb in the clause is
active.
This structure is often
used when the verb in
the clause is in
progressive tense,
expresses a habitual or
continuous action, or a
wish.
- ask SS to do exercise

Ex: - the boy
waiting outside is
her classmate.
- People working in
his office have to
wear uniform.
