Relative clauses

You use a relative clause to give more information about a noun in the main clause of the sentence. The relative clause always follows the noun it is referring to: That’s the man who I saw! The one that’s wearing a blue T-shirt stole my handbag.

Defining relative clauses When the extra information in the relative clause is essential, it is called a defining relative clause. Without the defining relative clause, the meaning of the main clause can be unclear or need further explanation. In this dialogue, the Police Officer needs more information so the woman uses a defining relative clause: Woman: That’s him. Police Officer: Who? Woman: That's the man who I saw!

who, which, that Who, which and that are relative pronouns and you use them at the beginning of the relative clause. Use who for people: That's the woman who identified the thief Use which for objects or things: That s the handbag which was stolen.

You can replace both who or which with the relative pronoun that in defining relative clauses: That’s the woman that identified the thief. That’s the handbag that was stolen.

Subject or object of the relative clause The relative pronoun (who, which, that) in the relative clause can be... the subject of the clause: It’s the T-shirt which has a rip. The T-shirt has a rip.  the object of the clause (with a noun or pronoun following it): That’s the man who I saw. I saw that man!

Do not use another object in the relative clause when the relative pronoun is the object: That’s the man. I saw him.That’s the man who I saw him.

Verb agreement When the relative pronoun is the subject, the verb agrees with the subject of the main clause: This is the shop that sells T-shirts.

Omitting the relative pronoun In defining relative clauses, you always need a relative pronoun when it is the subject of the defining relative clause (i.e. when it is immediately followed by a verb). Say That’s the man who stole my handbag, (don’t say That’s the man stole my handbag.) However, you don’t have to use a relative pronoun when it is the object of the relative clause (i.e. when it is followed by a subject + verb): That’s the man I saw. = That’s the man who/that I saw.
