Read the following writing task:
Simple Defining Relative Clause Rules
We use relative clauses to define a noun or to make clear which person,
thing or place we are talking about. To do this, we use the following relative
pronouns:
* whose is used to show possession of something.

# do not use where or in which if you need a verb immediately after it. For
example, The country where lived is incorrect.

As you can see in the example sentences in the table, when we are defining a
thing, person or place, we do not use commas (,) to separate the relative
clause from the rest of the sentence. We can tell if a relative clause is
defining by removing that clause from the sentence and if the meaning has
changed a lot, it is probably a defining relative clause.

Below, there are different ways of linking ideas for four different
meanings: opposition, comparison/contrast, addition, and cause/effect.
Hover your mouse over the different colours to see how you make these
structures.
Opposition = a difference to what we normally expect
1.  Although he was tired, he was happy.

2.  He was very tired. However, he was happy.

3.  In spite of being very tired, he was happy.

Comparison/contrast = a difference between two things or
situations
1.  The teacher was very tired, whereas the student was full of energy.

2.  The teacher was very tired. On the other hand, the student was full of energy.

Additional information
1.  As well as being tired, he was hungry.

2.  Not only was he tired, but he was also hungry.

3.  He was tired. In addition, he was hungry.

Cause/effect = one action/event producing another

1.  The teacher was very tired because he had worked all day.

2.  The teacher had worked all day. As a result, he was very tired.

3.  The teacher was very tired because of having worked all day.

Now complete the following drag and drop activity.

It is important to spend a minute proofreading your essay to find and

correct mistakes, once you have finished writing your essay. One way you
could proofread and edit is by using the SPLAT technique. 

SPLAT stands for: Spelling, PLurals (singular/plural nouns), Agreement

(subject-verb agreement) and Tense.
These are some of the most common language mistakes that students make
and being able to find and correct these types of mistakes will improve your
essay in terms of Lexical Resource and Grammatical Range and
Accuracy.  Here are some simple steps for SPLAT proofreading and editing. 

1) When you have finished writing your essay,  write down the abbreviation S
PL A T on your planning page. 

2) Then, quickly scan your essay response for each of these types of errors .
begin with looking for spelling (S) mistakes, then move to single/plural (PL) or
countable/uncountable nouns, followed by subject/verb agreement (A) and
finally tense errors (T).

3) Once you have finished proofreading and correcting a specific type of error,
tick (√) or cross off (X) the corresponding letter and move to the next type of
error.

*Remember, these are not the only types of errors which may be in your

writing although they are some of most common. Also try to find other errors
when you proofread, such as problems with incorrect punctuation,
capitalisation, word-form and word-choice.
