The use of 'that/which' as connector:
Pupils were taught how they should use 'that/which' to join sentences, in this case, the second sentence usually gives more description about the item.

For example:
Mr Lee took the bottle to the canteen.
The bottle was on top of the shelf.

Right: Mr Lee took the bottle that/which was on top of the shelf to the canteen.
Wrong: Mr Lee took the bottle to the canteen that/which was on top of the shelf.

The pupils had a good laugh at the wrong one as putting the word 'that/which' behind 'canteen' causes the description (on top of the shelf) to be describing the canteen instead. They were told that the description should follow closely behind the object it is describing. In this case, it should follow closely to 'the bottle'.
