Relative clauses

Explanation

Relative clauses are used to give additional information about something without starting another sentence.
This can make language use more sophisticated, particularly in writing. They are introduced by relative
pronouns like 'who', 'which', 'that', 'whose', 'whom'.

There are two types of relative clauses: defining and non-defining. Defining relative clauses provide essential
information about the noun. Non-defining relative clauses, on the other hand, provide extra information that
could be left out without changing the overall meaning of the sentence.

For example, "The project that we finished last week was very challenging." (defining) vs "Our CEO, who has
been with us for 10 years, is planning to retire." (non-defining).
Combine the following pairs of sentences using relative clauses:

a. "I met the project manager yesterday. He is leading our new project."

b. "Our company just launched a new product. The product is already successful."

c. "She is applying for a job. The job requires advanced English skills."

d. "The team is going to a conference. The conference is in New York."

Write relative clauses to add information to the following sentences:

a. "The new intern is very efficient."

b. "Our meeting was postponed."

c. "The contract was signed last week."

d. "Our biggest client is very pleased with our work."

Correct the mistakes in these sentences:

a. "The team, that just won the award, is from our department."

b. "I have a new colleague who his skills are perfect for this project."

c. "The project who we've been working on is almost complete."

d. "Our manager, whom is very experienced, will lead the training session."
