Relative Pronouns

 Do you remember WH-questions words? (where, when, what, who, whose, which)

Where is your book? Where = a question word

I don't know where my book is. where = a relative pronoun

That is not a question word but it acts as a relative pronoun in a sentence. 

I borrowed the book that we have to read at school. 

That = relative adverb


Examples

1. PEOPLE (use who or that)

Bryson is a famous writer who/that grew up in the USA. 

2. THINGS (use which or that)

It's the food which  / that I can't eat. 

3.  POSSESSIONS / BELONGINGS (use whose)

He goes shopping with his wife, whose choices are always healthy. 

4. PLACES ( use where)

This is the town where I was born. 

5. TIME (use when)

This was the winter when it almost didn't snow.

Vitamins and Minerals

 Vitamins fall into two categories: fat soluble and water soluble (pronounced: SAHL-yuh-bul):


  • The fat-soluble vitamins — A, D, E, and K — dissolve in fat and are stored in your body.
  • The water-soluble vitamins — C and the B-complex vitamins (such as vitamins B6, B12, niacin, riboflavin, and folate) — dissolve in water. Your body can't store these vitamins. Any B or C vitamins that your body doesn't use travels through the bloodstream and is lost (mostly when you pee). So you need a fresh supply of these vitamins every day.

Vitamins are organic substances, which means they’re made by plants or animals. Minerals are inorganic elements that come from soil and water, and are absorbed by plants or eaten by animals.
