2. I bought a cell phone. A cell phone has internet access
3. This is the ‘magic’ tree. So many lovers kiss under the ‘magic’ tree

Về mặt ngữ pháp, những câu này đúng nhưng rất ngắn, đơn giản và lặp từ. Ta có thể sử dụng mệnh đề
quan hệ để biến câu văn trở nên dài và sinh động hơn.
1. Yesterday I met a man who works in a zoo – Tối qua tôi gặp người đàn ông, người mà làm
việc ở sở thú
2. I bought a cell phone which has internet access – Tôi mua một chiếc điện thoại có đường truyền
internet
3. This is a ‘magic’ tree where so many lovers kiss under – Đây là cây ‘ma thuật’ nơi rất nhiều
cặp đôi hôn nhau

b…………………………………………………………………………………………………
He has three sons, who are very successful doctors
danh từ mệnh đề phụ bổ sung thêm thông tin cho danh từ đứng trước

Mệnh đề quan hệ còn được gọi là mệnh đề tính ngữ – bản chất giống tính từ nhằm bổ sung thêm cho
Danh từ đứng trước cạnh, nhưng tính từ thì bị giới hạn bởi từ, trong khi đó mệnh đề quan hệ là cả câu
1. He has three smart sons
t.từ → danh từ

2. He has three sons, who are very successful doctors


danh từ ← mệnh đề tính ngữ
c…………………………………………………………………………………………………
1. He has three sons, who are doctor
tân ngữ ← mệnh đề quan hệ
2. Mr.John, who is our new director will be in charge of marketing team next month.
chủ ngữ ← mệnh đề quan hệ
B. Các đại từ quan hệ
a. WHO
Để hình thành mệnh đề quan hệ, ta cần có hai câu có một danh từ được lặp. Cần xác định đâu là câu
chính và đâu là câu phụ bổ sung thêm thông tin
- Câu chính: I am talking to my dad
121
MY PASSION – YOUR SUCCESS
- Câu phụ: My dad is listening to music
- Danh từ lặp: My dad
Chúng ta ghép hai câu lại, biến câu phụ thành mệnh đề quan hệ bằng cách bỏ ‘my dad” ở câu phụ,
thay thế bằng ‘who’. Lúc này ta dịch từ ‘who’ thành ‘người mà’
- Ghép hai câu: I am talking to my dad My dad is listening to music
Who
🡺 …………………………………………………………………………………………

Cấu trúc:

I am talking to my dad who is listening to music


d.từ chỉ người động từ
b. WHOM
- Câu chính: My co-worker had a meeting with me yesterday
- Câu phụ: My boss believed in my co-worker
- Từ lặp: My co-worker
Chúng ta ghép 2 câu lại bằng cách bỏ ‘my co-worker’ ở câu phụ, thay thế bằng ‘whom’. Lúc này ta
cũng dịch từ ‘whom’ thành ‘người mà’
- Ghép hai câu:
My co-worker had a meeting with me yesterday. My boss believe in my co-worker
whom
Sau khi thay thế, ta chuyển câu phụ ra ngay đằng sau danh từ mà nó muốn bổ sung ở câu chính.
- Câu mệnh đề quan hệ:
My co-worker whom my boss believe in had meeting with me yesterday
danh từ lặp câu chính MĐQH thành phần còn lại của câu chính
🡪……………………………………………………………………………………………….

Cấu trúc:

My co-worker whom my boss believe in had a meeting with me yesterday


d.từ chỉ người chủ ngữ đ.từ

Chú ý:
với trường hợp này, nếu trong câu phụ có giới từ đứng trước danh từ lặp lại: My boss believe in my
co-worker thì khi ta ghép lại thành mệnh đề quan hệ, .....................................................

122
MY PASSION – YOUR SUCCESS
My co-worker in whom my boss believe in had a meeting with me yesterday
Giới từ ‘in’ trong cụm ‘believe in’ có thể chuyển lên trước từ whom
3. WHOSE
-
Câu chính: My co-worker had a meeting with me yesterday
Câu phụ: My co-worker’s ideas are praised by my boss
-
Từ lặp: My co-worker có sở hữu cách
-
Câu MĐQH: My co-worker whose ideas are praised by my boss had a meeting with me
-
yesterday.
🡪……………………………………………………………………………………………….

Cấu trúc:

My co-worker whose ideas are praised by my boss had a meeting with me yesterday.
d.từ chỉ người danh từ đ.từ

4. WHICH
- Câu chính: Yesterday she looked for a toy
- Câu phụ: A toy was new
- Từ lặp: A toy
Chúng ta ghép 2 câu lặp lại bằng cách bỏ ‘a toy’ ở câu phụ, thay thế bằng ‘which’. Lúc này ta dịch
‘which’ là ‘thứ mà’
- Ghép hai câu: Yesterday she looked for a toy. A toy was new
which
Ta vẫn giữ nguyên vị trí của mệnh đề quan hệ vì nó đã đứng ngày sau danh từ lặp mà nó muốn bổ sung
ở câu chính.
→ Ta dùng ‘which’ khi từ lặp là danh từ chỉ vật, và từ lặp câu phụ có thể đóng bất kể vị trí chủ ngữ
hay tân ngữ.

Câu trúc:
Yesterday she looked for a toy which was new
d.từ chỉ vật đ.từ
5. THAT
…………………………………………………………………………………………………..
Từ ‘that’ được sử dụng nhiều trong văn nói, ở những ngữ cảnh thông thường hơn.

Yesterday she looked a toy which was new for her baby

123
MY PASSION – YOUR SUCCESS
= Yesterday she looked for a toy that was new for her baby

6. WHERE, WHEN, WHY


a. Đại từ ‘where’ khi nói về ………………………………………………………………
I visited the place where I graduated from

b. Đại từ ‘when’ khi nói về………………………………………………………………


The moment when I decided to marry her was too late

c. Đại từ ‘why’ khi nói về………………………………………………………………..


The reason why I broke up with her is confidential

hoped to receive airplane tickets to France
wedding present! Paris is wonderful! The only
trouble is trying to decide where to go. I want to
go to the museums, but Jill wants to see some of
the beautiful traditional churches. In the end, we
decided to see the churches in the morning (when
the weather is cool), and the museums in the
afternoon (because they’re air conditioned). This
allows us to get the most sightseeing done during
our two-week stay. There are many coffee shops,
too. Jill likes sitting outside and watching people,
but I like sitting inside where I can enjoy the smell
of the coffee. French coffees are so much more
aromatic and stronger than the coffee we are used
to back home. Thanks again for the lovely trip! We
sent you a postcard, but I think we will arrive back
home before you get it. It is a picture of the Eiffel
Tower.

Love,
Freddy and Jill.
