Welcome to a presentation on

 Defining relative clauses define or identify which person or thing you are talking about: ◦ The man who came in late is the boss.  There is no comma before a defining relative clause. The pronouns that you use in these clauses are who, whom, that and which. They are called RELATIVE PRONOUNS.

 When the subject is a person: ◦ The man who came in the late is the boss. (OR) The man that came in late is the boss.  When the subject is a thing: ◦ I sit at the desk that faces the window. (OR) I sit at the desk which faces the window. (formal)

 When the object is a person: ◦ She’s the girl who/that I met last night. (or) She’s the girl I met last night. (or) She’s the girl whom I met last night.(formal)  When the object is a thing: ◦ I’ve finished that book that you lent me. (or) I’ve finished the book you lent me. (or) I’ve finished the book which you lent me. (formal)  Note:  That, who and which can be left out when the thing or person is the object of the verb.

 To show that something belongs to somebody: ◦ He helped a woman whose car had broken down. ◦ They’re the people whose house was burgled.  Whose is not usually used to refer to a thing. Of which is usually used instead. ◦ He’s reading the book, the name of which I can never remember.  But it is more natural to say: ◦ He’s reading that book-I can never remember its name…

 Non-relative defining clauses add extra information about somebody or something which could be left out and the sentence would still make sense. This extra information is separated from the main clause by commas: ◦ The film, which was shot in Mexico, has won an Oscar.  The pronouns that can be used in the non- defining clauses are who, whom, which and whose.

 When the subject is a person: ◦ My sister, who is a vegetarian, ordered a salad.  When the subject is a thing: ◦ The tickets, which can be bought at the station, are valid for a month.

 When the object is a person: ◦ Peter, who nobody had met before, arrived late. (or) Peter, whom nobody had met before, arrived late.(formal)  When the object is a thing: ◦ The tickets, which I’ve paid for, are still valid.  When something belongs to somebody: ◦ Lucy, whose car had broken down, didn’t go.

 In spoken English a preposition in a relative clause is usually placed at the end of the clause, and the relative pronoun is omitted. A more formal alternative is to put the preposition after the relative pronoun.

◦ When the object is a person:  The man I spoke to was very friendly. (or) The man who/that I spoke to was very friendly. (or) The man to whom I spoke was very friendly. (formal) ◦ When the object is a thing:  The house I was born in is gone. (or) The house that I was born in is gone. (or) The house in which I was born is gone.(formal)
