GROUP 7 RELATIVE CLAUSES
• TYPES:
Defining relative clauses: They
give information about the Noun they
follow
“She is the singer who visited my
school”
Sometimes we find a preposition
at the end of the clause: “Is that the guy
who you spoke to?”
Non-defining relative clauses:
They offer additional information which
is not essential:
“The tickets, which cost $50 each,
were posted to the wrong address.
The relative pronoun cannot be
omitted in this type of sentences
“That” cannot be used in these
sentences.
• PRONOUNS and ADVERBS:
Relative pronouns are used to add
a clause to a sentence. They make
reference to the Noun they follow.
WHO / THAT are used to refer to
people: “This is the woman who/that
wrote the song”
WHOM also refers to people but
just in formal registers and when they
substitute an object: “That’s the woman
whom I asked”
WHICH / THAT refer to objects:
“This is the CD which/that I bought”
WHERE refers to places: “This is
the house where I was born” = “This is
the house that I was born in”
WHEN is sometimes considered a
relative too: “That was the time when I
met her” = “That’s the time that I met
her”
WHOSE express possession:
“That’s the band whose lead singer was
arrested”
OMISSION OF RELATIVE
PRONOUNS:
The relative pronoun can be
omitted when it is the object of the clause
(in defining clauses) When it is followed
