Vocabulary: Word transformations

 Changing a Verb to a Noun.


 We can change a verb into a noun (a profession) by adding the
ending –er, and keeping in mind the following additional rules:
 Forverbs that end in –e, we only add the –r, e.g., dance-
dancer.
 Forverbs that end in a consonant-vowel-consonant
combination, we double the last consonant, e.g., swim-
swimmer.
Non- Defining Relative Clauses

 Non-defining relative clauses give us extra information about someone


or something. It isn't essential for understanding who or what we are
talking about.

 My grandfather, who's 87, goes swimming every day.


 The house, which was built in 1883, has just been opened to the
public.
 The award was given to Sara, whose short story impressed the
judges.
