Warm-up

Before we look back at the last three units:

1. Where do you usually get your books: from a bookstore, a library or online?
2. What hobby would you start if you had more free time?
3. What do you spend more money on now than you did a few years ago?

Grammar rule

Grammar from units 13–15

Unit	Grammar	Example
13	relative clauses: commas, whose, preposition + which / whom, of whom / of which	a man down the street whose daughter is learning to read; more than two hundred books, many of which were almost new; the ones in which you lose track of time
14	cleft sentences: What… is / was, It is… that, All… is	What I didn't expect was how fast it would grow. It's the conversations that I enjoy most. All I have to do is open my door.
15	phrasal verbs with two particles	We ran out of space. My grandson came up with an idea.

Three things to watch: never use that after a comma (…, which / who…); in a What… sentence, is is always correct, even before a plural (What we need is new shelves), though are is also common; and with these phrasal verbs, the object goes after the last particle (put up with it, not put it up with).
