THE ANSWERS (RELATIVE CLAUSES) QUESTION 1. I bought a car that is very fast. I bought a car, which is very fast. (Both options are correct.) QUESTION 2. I live in London, which has some amazing parks. (We are adding some extra information about parks. Don’t forget the comma!) QUESTION 3. The woman who called me is my new colleague. (Use “who” when talking about people. The sentence “The woman is my new colleague” is not clear, which means that we can’t remove the relative clause. Therefore, we don’t need commas.)

❗️WHICH/THAT (THINGS) Can you remove the clause from the sentence? ❌ If no, use THAT and NO commas. The bike that I left outside has been stolen. (The bike has been stolen. = This sentence is not clear. What bike?) ✅ If yes, use WHICH and put COMMAS. My bike, which I left outside, has been stolen. (My bike has been stolen. = This sentence is clear.)

HERE ARE THE RULES: ❗️WHO (PEOPLE) Can you remove the clause from the sentence? ❌ If no, you don’t need any commas: The boy who wears a red t-shirt is my son. (The boy is my son. = This sentence is not clear. Which boy?) ✅ If yes, put commas: My son, who wears a red t-shirt, is five years old. (My son is five years old. = This sentence is clear)

Guys, you're doing amazingly well! Most of your sentences are correct, apart from one important thing. YOUR PUNCTUATION. ☠️ To get a high score for your grammar, most of your sentences must have no mistakes at all, not even missing commas.

Btw, here’s the answer. You may find it easier to repeat when you can see it: I think the whole idea of favourite or lucky numbers is a bit silly, but if I was forced to say, I’d choose 7. Apparently, so would most people! I’ve heard it was called the world’s favourite number.

Do you have a favourite number?

Let’s practice one answer. Repeat it phrase by phrase and then sentence by sentence 🙂
