DEFINING RELATIVE CLAUSES

Abstract

This article examines the grammatical structure of defining relative clauses in the English language and explores modern approaches to teaching this construction effectively. The construction plays a significant role in providing essential information about a noun, allowing speakers to identify specifically who or what they are referring to in communication. The study highlights the importance of integrating interactive teaching methods, contextual learning, and communicative approaches in order to improve students’ understanding and usage of this structure. Additionally, the paper discusses common difficulties faced by learners and proposes practical solutions for overcoming them through innovative pedagogical strategies.
