Relative Relative clausesclauses
We use them to convert two sentences in one .
• For example:
I work in this shop. It’s called PINK Shop.
The shop where I work is called PINK Shop
Or to make definitions:
• For example:
• -A waiter is a person who serves drinks.
• -A pub is a place where you can have a drink
A relative clause is a part of a sentence
with a RELATIVE PRONOUN.
for PEOPLE Who / that
for THINGS Which / that
for PLACES Where
for OWNERS Whose
for REASONS Why
for TIMESWhen
DEFINING RELATIVE CLAUSES They give you the information you need to understand
the sentence.
There are no commas. DON’T OMIT the clause when it’s a SUBJECT CLAUSE • Examples: • -That’s the girl who invited me. • That’s the place where I work. • OMIT the clause when it’s an OBJECT • Examples: • -I bought a car. It’s a Ford.• -The car (that) I bought is a Ford.
NON DEFINING RELATIVE CLAUSES
• They give extra information.
• You don’t need them to understand the sentence.
• They are written between commas.
• If you take out the relative clause, the sentence still makes sense. Example:
Mary, who is French, is a nice girl.
Mary is a nice girl .
