Look at the sentences from the reading passage and answer the question.
a. Eventually, it manages to reach
the places where it will spend the winter.
b. The solution… comes at a time when it is in serious trouble.
c. Sadly, human activity is the main reason why
the number of monarch butterflies is falling.
What do “where”, “when”. “why” refer to in each sentences
What’s the difference between the two groups of sentences
a. Eventually, it manages to reach
the places where it will spend the winter.
d. Eventually, it manages to reach those places. It will spend the winter there.
one sentence
two sentences
defining the noun “places”
use an adverb
b. The solution… comes at a time when it is in serious trouble.
e. It’s in serious trouble. The solution…
comes at this time.
one sentence
two sentences
defining the noun “time”
use a phrase to show the time
c. Sadly, human activity is the main reason why the number of monarch butterflies is falling.
f. Sadly, human activity is the main reason.
For this reason, the number of monarch butterflies is falling.
one sentence
two sentences
use a phrase
defining the noun “reason”
Why does the author choose to use sentences (a), (b), and (c) in the reading passage
thinking
Because there is a closer link and connection between the item and the clause defining it in the sentences (a), (b) and (c). It will also make the passage clearer, and create an emphatic effect on the location, time and reason being defined.
More practice for what the words where, when and why refer to;
Compare attributive clauses led by which/that with the ones led by where, when or why;
1. Look for more sentences with attributive clauses in the reading passage.
1) These two pieces of information – the time
of day and the point where the sun is in
the sky…
先行词
Where在从句中作地点状语
2) In many of the places where the butterfly can be found, people are destroying …
3) They cut down trees and use chemicals that kill the plants that monarch caterpillars eat.
4) If this works, there may come a time when the number of monarch butterflies may increases once again.
2. Read the passage and underline the words that where, when, and why refer to.
where
在定语从句中用作地点状语,其先行词须是表地点的名词。
如: This is the school where I studied a few
years ago.
关系副词在定语从句中的用法
why
在定语从句中用作原因状语,其先行词一般是reason(s)。
如: Do you know the reason why he is not
here
when
在定语从句中用作时间状语,其先行词须是表时间的名词。
如: Can you tell me the time when the film
will start
【拓展】
1) 当 situation, case, point (地点), occasion(场合) 等充当先行词,且在定语从句中作地点状语时,定语从句引导词用where;如:
You could get into a situation where you have to decide immediately.
你可能遇上一种情况,使你不得不立刻作出决定。
Three hours later, our bus reached the point where the road divides.
三小时后我们的车到达路的分岔处。
2) 当point (时刻),occasion(时刻)在定语从句中作时间状语时,定语从句引导词用when。如:
We had reached the point when there was no money left.
我们曾落到身无分文的地步。
Occasions are quite rare when I have the time to spend a day with my kids.
我能跟孩子们待一整天的时候很少。
a. Eventually, it manages to reach the places where it will spend the winter.

which is recorded in the book.
adverbial
subject
c. Sadly, human activity is the main reason why the number of monarch butterflies is falling.

adverbial
object
When we use which/that to lead an attributive clause, which/that is used as subject or object in the clause.
If we use where, when or why to lead an attributive clause, where, when or why is used as an adverbial in the clause.
Conclusion
Complete sentences with the proper words which/that, where, when or why;
Use attributive clauses to describe an animal.
We have known the use of which/that, where, when and why. When we choose the proper word, we should first analyze the attributive clause’s sentence structure.

Animal idioms
Understand and use the animal idioms.
1. as busy as a(n) _______
2. kill two _______ with one stone
3. When the cat’s away, the _______ will play.
bee
birds
mice
Look at the pictures and complete the idioms with animal names.
4. hold your _______
5. It’s raining _______ and ________.
horses
cats
dogs
English idioms are a way of adding colour to the language. For example, instead of saying “It’s raining heavily”, you could say “_______________________”. Another reason to use idioms is that they are concise. For example, to describe someone who is always working or busy doing something, we can say they are __________________.
It’s raining cats and dogs
as busy as a bee
Complete the paragraph with the animal idioms above.
If they’re rushing into something and should wait and be patient, you could say “_________________”. Learning idioms can be fun, especially when we compare them to Chinese equivalents. Take, for example, “__________________________________ ” (people do what they want and have fun when someone in authority is absent) and “_________________________” (solve two problems with one action) – are there corresponding idioms in Chinese
hold your horses
When the cat’s away, the mice will play
kill two birds with one stone
