Re: Printer Toner Cartridges
Date: Mr. Barlow,

Although we have never formally met, I have been working in your company for over eight
years in the printing department. I would like to call your attention to the fact that there is a
new resource for printer toner cartridges. Currently, we are spending about $15 for black
toner cartridges and $25 for color cartridges. This is because we are buying them directly
from the manufacturer. However, I have recently found an Internet dealer who can supply
us with unlimited black cartridges for only $1.50 each and color cartridges for $2.50 each.
If you are interested, perhaps we could talk about this in more details at your convenience.
Sincerely,

UNIT 11: RELATIVE PRONOUNS AND RELATIVE ADVERBS


PHẦN 1: LÝ THUYẾT
I. RELATIVE PRONOUNS (ĐẠI TỪ QUAN HỆ)
1. Đại từ quan hệ thay thế cho danh từ chỉ người: WHO, WHOM, THAT
- “who, that” vừa làm chủ ngữ, vừa làm tân ngữ trong mệnh đề quan hệ.
Ví dụ:
+ The family who live next door moved here from England.
+ I told you about the woman who lives next door.
- “whom” thay thế danh từ chỉ người đóng vai trò làm tân ngữ trong mệnh đề quan hệ.
Ví dụ: This is the woman whom I met at Tony’s house.
2. Đại từ quan hệ thay thế cho danh từ chỉ đồ vật: WHICH, THAT – làm chủ ngữ hoặc
tân ngữ trong mệnh đề quan hệ.
Ví dụ:
Is this the book which/that you were reading last night?
Do you see the cat which is lying on the roof?
3. Đại từ quan hệ thay thế cho tính từ sở hữu chỉ người hoặc vật: WHOSE
Ví dụ: I saw some people whose clothes were dirty.
Chú ý: Ta dùng sở hữu cách:
N of whom = whose + N (người)
N of which = whose + N (vật)
Ví dụ:
Do you know the man whose daughter won the first prize?
= Do you know the man the daughter of whom won the first prize?
He has written a book whose name I have forgotten.
= He has written a book the name of which I have forgotten.
4. Khi danh từ phía trước vừa chỉ người vừa chỉ vật ta dùng đại từ quan hệ “that” để
thay thế.
Ví dụ: The author and the book that you are talking about are wonderful.
5. Chú ý về đại từ quan hệ “that”
* Dùng “that” chứ không dùng “which” để thay thế cho danh từ chỉ đồ vật trong các
trường hợp sau đây:
- Khi trước danh từ là từ chỉ số thứ tự, so sánh nhất

https://www.facebook.com/phithibichngocteacher | 166
Cô Phí Thị Bích Ngọc Khoá TOEIC Tân Sinh Viên

The + so sánh nhất / The first/second/only/next/last + N (vật) + that + SVO


Ví dụ: This is the best novel that has been written by this author.
- Khi danh từ phía trước có một số từ chỉ số lượng:
“All, some, any, much, little, …” + N (vật) + that + SVO
Ví dụ: All the apples that fall are eaten by pig.
I want to see all that he possesses.
- Khi đằng trước nó làm một số đại từ bất định chỉ vật.
Something/everything/nothing/anything + that + SVO
Ví dụ: He has just said something that comes into my head.
Riêng trường hợp đại từ bất định chỉ đồ vật, nếu đáp án không có “that” ta có thể chọn
“which”
Ví dụ: That is something in the newspaper that/which bothers me.
- The very + N (vật) + that + SVO: chính là cái mà …
Ví dụ: This is the very book that I have been looking for.
* Các trường hợp không dùng “that”
- Không dùng “that” trong mệnh đề quan hệ không xác định.
Ví dụ: My car, that uses too much gasoline, is very large. (Sai)
 Đúng: My car, which uses too much gasoline, is very large.
- Không dùng “that” sau giới từ
Ví dụ: She wrote a lot of books most of that she published. (Sai)
 Đúng: She wrote a lot of books most of which she published.
II. RELATIVE ADVERBS (TRẠNG TỪ QUAN HỆ)
1. Trạng từ quan hệ chỉ nơi chốn: WHERE
Ví dụ:
I came back to the town. I was born there.  I came back to the town where I was born.
Chú ý:
The hotel was luxurious. We stayed in that hotel last year.
 The hotel where we stayed last year was luxurious.
 The hotel in which we stayed/which we stayed in last year was luxurious.
2. Trạng từ quan hệ chỉ thời gian: WHEN
Ví dụ:
Come to see me at 9:30 am when I am free.
= Come to see me at 9:30 am which is my free time.

https://www.facebook.com/phithibichngocteacher | 167
Cô Phí Thị Bích Ngọc Khoá TOEIC Tân Sinh Viên

CHÚ Ý: Trạng từ chỉ nơi chốn, thời gian: where, when không đứng đầu câu làm chủ ngữ.
3. Trạng từ quan hệ chỉ lí do: WHY
Ví dụ: The reason why/for which I didn’t phone you was that I didn’t know your number.
III. CÁC LOẠI MỆNH ĐỀ QUAN HỆ
1. Mệnh đề quan hệ xác định
- Là một mệnh đề phụ đứng sau một danh từ chưa rõ nghĩa nhằm xác định rõ hơn về danh
từ đó.
- Mệnh đề này là thiết yếu vì không có nó ta sẽ không hiểu danh từ trước đó đề cập đến
ai, cái gì
* Chú ý về mệnh đề quan hệ xác định:
Chú ý 1: Khi mệnh đề quan hệ có một giới từ ta phải giữ nguyên ở phía sau hoặc đảo lên
trước đại từ quan hệ.
- Không dùng giới từ trước: that, who, where, when
Thường dùng: giới từ + whom (chỉ người); giới từ + which (chỉ vật)
Ví dụ: The man is the chairman of the company. You have just talked to him.  The man
to whom you have just talked is the chairman of the company.
- Giới từ “without” luôn phải đảo lên trước đại từ quan hệ.
Ví dụ: The woman without whom I can’t live is Jane.
- Cụm động từ không thể tách rời (Phrasal verbs) thì giới từ không được đảo lên trước đại
từ quan hệ.
Ví dụ: Did you find the word which you were looking up?
Chú ý 2: Mệnh đề quan hệ không nhất thiết phải đi ngay sau danh từ nó xác định mà có
thể đứng cách danh từ cần xác định bởi một từ hay một cụm từ nào đó.
Ví dụ: There is something in the newspaper which you would be interested in.
Chú ý 3: Khi who/whom/that là tân ngữ trong mệnh đề quan hệ xác định ta có thể lược
bỏ.
Ví dụ: Is this the book (which/that) you read last night?
2. Mệnh đề quan hệ không xác định
- Đứng sau danh từ đã rõ nghĩa. Nó không nhằm xác định rõ hơn cho danh từ đứng trước.
Mệnh đề này chỉ nhằm cung cấp thêm thông tin về danh từ đứng trước.
- Thường được tách riêng bởi dấu phẩy.
* Chú về mệnh đề quan hệ không xác định.

https://www.facebook.com/phithibichngocteacher | 168
Cô Phí Thị Bích Ngọc Khoá TOEIC Tân Sinh Viên

Chú ý 1: Trong mệnh đề quan hệ cung cấp thông tin ta có thể dùng giới từ trước đại từ
quan hệ: whom, which
Ví dụ: Mr John, about whom I talked to you, was very interested in your stories.
Chú ý 2: Ta có thể dùng đại từ quan hệ “whom, which” sau: all of/ most of/ none of/ one
of/ some of + which/whom + …
Ví dụ: I have three sisters. All of them are students.  I have three sisters all of whom
are students.
Chú ý 3: Trong mệnh đề quan hệ không xác định, “which” có thể dùng để thay thế cho ý
nghĩa của cả mệnh đề phía trước, thường thay cho “it, this” được tách bởi dấu phẩy. Dịch là
điều này …
Ví dụ: He didn’t succeed. It made me disappointed.  He didn’t succeed which made me
disappointed.
IV. MỆNH ĐỀ QUAN HỆ RÚT GỌN
1. Mệnh đề quan hệ rút gọn chủ động: Khi V trong mệnh đề quan hệ chia ở chủ động ta
bỏ đại từ quan hệ “which/who/that”, V đưa về V-ing.
S + who/which/that + V/be V-ing/ has-have VP2 … + V (chính) + O
= S + V-ing + V (chính) + O
Ví dụ: The girl who is running down the street might be in trouble.
 The girl running down the street might be in trouble.
2. Mệnh đề quan hệ rút gọn bị động: Khi V trong mệnh đề quan hệ chia ở bị động ta bỏ
đại từ quan hệ which/who/that, V đưa về VP2
S + who/which/that + be VP2 … + V (chính) + O.
= S + VP2 + V (chính) + O.
Ví dụ: The man who was badly injured in the accident yesterday was the head-master.
 The man badly injured in the accident yesterday was the head-master.
3. Mệnh đề quan hệ rút gọn của danh từ và tính từ
Khi MĐQH có “to be + N/adj”, ta có thể lược bỏ đại từ quan hệ, chủ ngữ nếu có và “to
be”; chỉ giữ lại N hoặc adj. Vì vậy xaye ra trường hợp hai danh từ đứng liền nhau hoặc tính
từ đứng sau danh từ.
Ví dụ: Mr Jackson, who is a professor, is travelling in the Mideast this year.
 Mr Jackson, a professor, is travelling in the Mideast this year.

https://www.facebook.com/phithibichngocteacher | 169
Cô Phí Thị Bích Ngọc Khoá TOEIC Tân Sinh Viên

4. Mệnh đề quan hệ có thể rút gọn về “to V”:


- Khi trước danh từ có các từ chỉ số thứ tự, so sánh nhất (chủ động rút về “to V”; bị động
rút về “to be VP2”)
Ví dụ: The captain was the last man who left the ship/to leave the ship.
This is the biggest ship that has been built/to be been built in 2001.
- Khi muốn diễn đạt mục địch, sự cho phép bắt buộc. Thường có can/could/may/must
trong MDQH.
Ví dụ: The children need a big yard which they can play in/to play in.

that she and her friends could have them at her birthday party. However, when I opened the
packets to prepare her birthday meal, I found every single taco shell in all three packers to
be broken. It was too late to go out to buy new shells, so instead of serving the tacos that I
had promised, we had to order pizza. My daughter was terribly upset, and her birthday party
was ruined. I would like to receive a full refund of the money I paid for the broken shells.
Sincerely,
Mark Martin
