13. 3. CROSSWORDS FOR RELATIVE CLAUSES

14. RELATIVE CLAUSES
Chris Gunn (2012) affirms that relative clauses give students valuable tools for talking about language. They allow students to define things that they do not know the word for and understand definitions when they do not recognize or know a word.
Ex: I need a thing that is used to cut wood. What do you call it? – A saw
What is an architect? – An architect is a person who designs building.
