This unit, which has been an eye opener for me, was about modal auxiliary verbs, phrasal verbs, and clauses. It also included the rules for changing active voice into passive voice. That is, for changing the focus from the subject of the sentence to the object of the sentence.
I've used un-defining relative clauses in sentences, as I did purposely in the first sentence of this overview and now, but I don't recall the times that I have used the defining relative clause. The defining relative clause gives specific additional information because it is directly related to what the writer is trying to get across. Whereas the un-defining clause is more general.
When trying converse in Spanish, since the country that I'm teaching in primarily speaks Spanish, I find myself trying to translate phrasal verbs. I find that explaining each word in the phrase helps to get the student to understand. For example for \"stand out\" I would say that \"out\" is separate from or apart from. You would have to be separate from something and then \"stand\" is not hiding but making yourself visible. So the conclusion could be that you are different, set apart, not with the group. However, there is a lot of phrasal verbs and it will depend a lot on the students memorizing them. One of the suggestions that was mentioned in the lesson was to use those phrasal verbs in different conversations with different context. By using the phrasal verbs regularly the student is more likely to remember them and learn the different ways to use them.
