To learn what where, when and why refer to in the sentence;
To know the differences between which/that and where, when, why;
To describe animals by using attributive clauses led by where, when and why;
Learning objectives
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.
1. What do “where”, “when” and “why” refer to in each sentences
“Where” refers to “the places” in sentence (a), “when” refers to “a time” in sentence (b) and “why” refers to “the main reason” in sentence (c).
one sentence
d. Eventually, it manages to reach those places. It will spend the winter there.
a. Eventually, it manages to reach the places where it will spend the winter.
two sentences
defining the noun “places”
use an adverb
Compare sentences a, b, c with d, e, f and answer the questions.
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

c. Sadly, human activity is the main reason why the number of monarch butterflies is falling.
f. Sadly, human activity is the main reason.

one sentence
two sentences
use a phrase
defining the noun “reason”
2. What’s the difference between the two groups of sentences
Sentences (a), (b) and (c) contain a clause defining a noun or pronoun in the sentence. Sentences (d), (e) and (f) are constructed with a pair of simple sentences, with one defining a noun or pronoun in the other sentence in each pair.
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.
2) In many of the places where the butterfly can be found, people are destroying the natural environment.
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 — allow the butterfly to determine the way to go.
