Optional Extra:
Look at the first pair of sentences again.Teacher asks students if they can think of a different
way to join the sentences (we can use a relative clause with which/who or that, for example
There's a car which is stopping by the gate.) Teacher asks them to join the second and last pair
of sentences in a similar way (There are two people who are looking at our house. I can see
someone who is coming to the door.) Teacher points out that we cannot use a relative clause in
the third sentence because we know who the person is (he)
