Look at the sentences from the reading passage and answer the questions.
0,000 people reading my blog! b I love to photograph the rising sun, …
a. I walk through the doors into the waiting area, where there’s a familiar atmosphere of boredom and tension.
b. ... laughter produces chemicals to make people feel
better, which means clown doctors can be helpful.
c. I spent much of the time when I was there feeling
frightened ...
Grammar: Non-defining attributive clauses
In sentence (a) “where” refers to “the waiting area”;
in sentence (b) “which” refers to “ ... laughter produces chemicals to make people feel better”; in sentence (c) “when” refers to “the time”.
1. What do “where”, “which” and “when” refer to in each sentence

Grammar: Non-defining attributive clauses
2. Which sentences contain a clause with essential information and which with extra information If you take away the clauses, do the sentences still make sense
Sentence (c) contains a clause with essential information, sentences (a) and (b) contain clauses with extra information. If we take away the clause of sentence (c), the meaning of it is incomplete. If we take away the clauses of sentences (a) and (b), the two sentences still make sense.
Sentences (a) and (b) with extra information are
separated by commas.
3. Which clauses are separated by a comma, the ones with essential information or the ones with extra information

Now look for more sentences with non-defining attributive clauses in the reading passage, and summarise their uses.
