- "Too" can come before a noun IF the adjectives many/much also come before the noun. ● I ate too much food. (food = uncountable noun, so we use "much")

TWO TYPES
2. Relative clauses
Defining Non-defining Main sentence Main sentence
Relative sentence Relative sentence
→ Unnecessary
The student who didn’t come yesterday is ill in hospital. Marta, who is my best friend, has bought a new house.
Which student? It identifies /defines ? the student = subject (CAN’T be omitted) It’s already
definined (who = subject of the R. clause) The student whom / that I gave the results is very itelligent. Marta, whom I gave the book, has bought a new house.
or The student Who / that I gave the results to is very itelligent. or Marta, Who I gave the book to, has bought a new house.
Which student? It identifies /defines ? the student = object (CAN be omitted) It’s already definined (whom/who … to = object or the R.
clause) the whole Relative clause CAN be omitted

CONCLUSION:
(1) In defining relative sentences, the relative pronoun CAN only be omittedwhen it’s the OBJECT of the R. clause.Relative pronoun + Verb = NO omission: The student who/ that came yesterday is very intelligent.
R.Pr. Verb Relative pronoun + Subject = Omission: The book which / that they gave you is about plants and flowers.
R. Pr. S
The book they gave you is about plants and flowers. (ø R. pron)
dO S V iO Predicate (dO complement)
(2) In Non-defining relative sentences, the whole R. clause CAN be omitted (but Not the R. Pr.):
- Your sister, who is very nice, came yesterday. = Your sister came yesterday.
(3) The R. Pronoun ”THAT” can be used instead of “who” (people) or “which” (animals or things), It’s used ONLY in defining relative sentences NEVER in Non-defining.
Non-defining relative clauses:(a) Are separeted by commas.(b) NEVER use "that"(c) NEVER omit the relative pronoun, though the whole R. clause can be removed from the main sentence.(d) These clauses are used in written or formal speech, therefore they are not very common in everyday communication.

□ In defining relative clause we use who/ that/which instead of he/she/they/it.
Examples: The woman –she lives next door –is a doctor.
R. Sentence: The woman who lives next door is a doctor. (“who” = subject of the relative sentence →CAN’T be omitted)
→ We can use “that” instead of “who”:
The woman that lives next door is a doctor.
R. Sentence: We know a lot of people who live in London. (“who” = subject of the relative sentence →CAN’T be omitted)
Further examples:
We know a lot of people – they live in London.
□ We use relative clauses when we need to add some more information; it can be necessary information (defining) or extra information (non-denining).

This is the house - The house was built in the 19th century by a famous architect.
→ This is the house which was built in the 19th century by a famous architect.
The man livis next door - The man is a hairdresser.
→ The man who lives next door is a hairdresser.

Who = the man
> A relative clause always follow its antecendent (= the noun it refers to)
□ The most frequent relative words are:
● Who / whom people ● Which animals / objects● Where places ● When Time references
● That people / animals / objects
□ Whom is mostly used in formal speech and it is only used when it refers to the object of the main clause:
● This is the student about whom the teachers were talking = This is the student the teachers were talking about.
● Why reason

Steps to recognize the type of relative sentences
(1) Look for the antecedent: The Eiffel Tower.(2) Chose the appropriate relative pronoun for this antecedent: which(3) Start by writing the subject of the main clause: The Eiffel Tower(4) Add the relative pronoun immediately after the subject:
The Eiffel Tower which (5) Decide which is the main information and which the secondary (year of construction or
appearance? in my opinion, it’s the year of construction): was built in 1889 (6) The secondary or extra information goes between commas, and you have it!!
> The Eiffel Tower, which is very impressive, was built in 1889. (= Non-defining R. sentence)
Sample sentence: The Eiffel Tower was built in 1889. The Eiffel Tower is very impressive.

2.1. Relative clauses
□ When the Relative Pronoun is the object of a preposition:
The formal construction is preposition + which / that / who(m), but it is more usual to move the preposition to the end of the clause, using which / that or who or omitting the relative altogether.
Examples:
● The ladder on which I was standing began to slip. The ladder which/that I was standing on began to slip.
The ladder I was standing on began to slip
● The man to whom I gave the message is the headteacher. The man who I gave the message to is the headteacher.
The man I gave the message to is the headteacher.

THE CAUSATIVE: To have/get something done Form: Subject + have / get + object + past participle
□ We use the causative form when we don't do things ourselves, but arrange for someone to do it for us. All tenses can be used to express the causative:
TENSE HAVE/GET SOMETHING DONE Present Simple I have / get my hair cut.
Past Simple I had / got my hair cut.
Present Continuous I'm having / getting my hair cut. Past Continuous I was having / getting my hair cut. Present Perfect I have had my hair cut.
Past Perfect I had had my hair cut.
will I will have my hair cut.
must I must have my hair cut.
be going to I'm going to have my hair cut. The different between “have” and “get” is just that “get” is more colloquial, and we don’t use it for something unpleasant: I have had my handbag stolen on my way to the office. (NOT “get”)
