Society expects women to stay at home and look after their children. La sociedad espera que las mujeres se queden en casa para cuidar de sus hijos.

We can agree that in the future, we will not have clean air because humans pollute the air.
It is very important to keep in mind that the Earth will change a lot. For example, instead of having glaciers, we will have more water in the ocean, and therefore, many animals and plants will die.
In my opinion, children will learn from our mistakes.
In fact, children will have many things because there will be less pollution.
In the future, children will not only be unable to play outside, but they will also not use paper in schools because there will be no forests.

English Grammar: Relative Pronouns and Conditional Sentences

Relative Pronouns
1. WHO (que, quien, quienes)
Used to refer to people.
Example: The boy, who you met yesterday, is my brother.
2. WHICH (que, el que, la que...)
Used to refer to animals, things, or objects.
Example: The car, which you bought yesterday, is really nice.
3. THAT (que, el que, la que...)
Used to refer to people, animals, and things. There is a rule in English that says that "that" cannot be used after a comma. Therefore, we cannot use this relative in non-defining sentences, which are those sentences in which the relative clause goes between commas.
4. WHAT (lo que)
We use "what" with this meaning when it is a relative pronoun, and not an interrogative one.
Example: What you say is false! ///// I don't understand what you say.
5. WHERE (donde)
