A. GRAMMAR
* RELATIVE CLAUSES (MỆNH ĐẾ QUAN HỆ)
1. Definition (Định nghĩa)
- Mệnh đề quan hệ (Relative clauses là: mệnh đề phụ dùng để giải thích rõ hơn về danh từ đứng trước
nó. Mệnh đề quan hệ đứng ngay sau danh từ mà nó bổ nghĩa.
E.g: The girl is Nam's girlfriend. She is sitting next to me.
The girl who is sitting next to me is Nam's girlfriend.
- Mệnh đề quan hệ thường được nói với mệnh đề chính bằng các đại từ quan hệ (relative pronoum):
who whom, which, whose, that hoặc các trạng từ quan hệ (relative adverb) where, when, why
+ Who: được dùng làm chủ ngữ trong mệnh đề quan hệ, thay thế cho danh từ chỉ người.
E.g: My close friend who sings very well is your brother.
+ Which: được dùng làm chủ ngữ hoặc tân ngữ trong mệnh đề quan hệ, thay thế cho danh từ chỉ vật.
E.g: Do you see the book which is on the table?
+ Whom: được dùng làm tân ngữ trong mệnh đề quan hệ, thay thế cho danh từ chỉ người.
E.g: The man whom I met yesterday is Hoa’s brother
+ Whose: được dùng để chỉ sở hữu cho danh từ chỉ người hoặc vật đứng trước. Sau whose là danh từ mà
nó làm sở hữu.
E.g: Do you know the girl whose mother is a famous artist?
+ That: được dùng thay thế cho danh từ chỉ người hoặc vật. “That” dùng để thay thế cho “who, which”
trong mệnh đề quan hệ xác định.
E.g: I don’t like houses which/ that are very old.
Các trường hơp nên dùng "that”
- Khi nó đi sau các hình thức so sánh nhất
E.g: It is the most boring book that I have read
- Khi nó đi sau các từ: only, the first,...,the last
E.g: He is the first man that I have loved
- Khi danh từ phía trước chỉ người và vật
E.g: He is talking about the people and places that he visited.
- Khi nó đi sau các đại từ bất định: nobody, no one, nothing, anything, any one, anybody, any, some,
someone, somebody, all...
E.g: These books are all that my grandmother left me
+ Where: là trạng từ quan hệ để thay thế cho các từ/cụm từ chỉ địa điểm, nơi chốn.
E.g: This is my hometown. I was born and grew up here.
→This is my hometown where I was born and grew up.
+ When: là trạng từ quan hệ để thay thế cho cụm từ/từ chỉ thời gian.
E.g: That was the day. I met my wife on this day.
→ That was the day when I met my wife.
+Why: là đại từ quan hệ chỉ lý do, thường thay cho cụm for the reason; for that reason …N(reason) +
WHY + S + V...
Eg: I don't know the reason. You didn't go to school for that reason.
→ I don't know the reason why you didn't go to school.
2. Classification (Phân loại)
* Mệnh đề quan hệ có hai loại: mệnh đề quan hệ xác định và mệnh đề quan hệ không xác
a. Mệnh đề xác định
- Là mệnh đề được dùng để xác định danh từ đứng trước nó, cần thiết cho ý nghã của câu, không có nó
câu sẽ không đủ nghĩa. Tất cả các đại từ quan hệ được sử dụng trong mệnh đề xác định.
E.g: Do you know the name of the man who came here yesterday.
=> Mệnh đề xác định không có dấu phẩy
b. Mệnh đề không xác định
- Là mệnh đề cung cấp thêm thông tin về người hoặc vật, không có nó thì câu vẫn đủ nghĩa.
E.g: Miss Hoa, who taught me English, has just got married
=> Mệnh đề không xác định có dấu phẩy
* Note:
- That không được dùng trong mệnh đề quan hệ không xác định.
E.g: Mr John, whom I met last week, is Miss Nga's husban
3. Omission of relative pronouns (Lược bỏ đại từ quan hệ)
Các đại từ quan hệ “who, whom, which, that”... có thể được bỏ khi:
- Làm tân ngữ và phía trước không có giới từ:
E.g: This is the house that/ which I have bought for 10 years.  This is the house I have bought for 10
years (Đây là ngôi nhà mà tôi đã mua được 10 năm.)
* Note: Lược bỏ đại từ quan hê chỉ dùng cho mệnh đề quan hệ xác định.
