RELATIVE CLAUSES Ies Argentona English Seminar

Relative Clauses are formed by joining 2 sentences: - “ Alina is the student”+ “She comes from Russia”: “Alina is the student WHO comes from Russia ”. - “The notebooks are on the table” + “They are mine”: “The notebooks WHICH are on the table are mine”. - “I’ve just met David” + “David seems to be a nice guy”: “I’ve just met David, WHO seems to be a nice guy ” -“I’d love to visit London”+ “It is a beautiful city”: -“I’d love to visit London, WHICH is a beatiful city ”

Relative clauses The pronoums we use are: 1.People: who / that 2.Things: which / that 3.Places: where 4.Times: when 5.Possession: whose

Remember: When we join 2 sentences with a Relative Pronoun or Adverb, we have to omit the noun/ pronoun/ possessive that the Relative replaces (In the previous sentences: She/ They/David /it) Relative Clauses go RIGHT AFTER the Noun they modify.

1. Defining Relative Clauses They define, give us essential information about a general term or expression. Defining Relative Clauses are not put in commas: 1.I talked to the man. He gave you the news. -I talked to the man who gave you the news. ( Which one? The one who gave you the news) 2. I read the letter. It came this morning. I read the letter which came this morning. (Which letter? the one that arrived this morning.)

Remember: Use WHO to refer to people and WHICH to refer to animals, things, … “THAT” can replace WHO and WHICH in Defining Relative Clauses : Did you know the girl WHO/THAT came to the party yesterday? The book WHICH/THAT I’m reading is very interesting.

OMISSION OF WHO, WHICH AND THAT: WHO, WHICH and THAT can be the Subject of the Relative Clause: - I’ve talked to the man WHO sold me his car. ( Who replaces The man and is the Subject of the Clause “sold me his car”) - The dog WHICH barks every night is my neighbour’s. ( Which is the Subject of the clause “barks every night”)

They can also be the Object or go after a preposition: - I loved the film (WHICH/ THAT) we saw last night. - The man ( WHO/THAT/ WHO) you mentioned is a writer. - I’ve found the keys for (WHICH/THAT) I was looking. - I found the keys I was looking for. - Who was the boy to (whom) you were talking ? Who was the boy you were talking to ? When The Relative is the Object, it can be (and it is usually) omitted in Defining Relative Clauses. Whose and Where can’t be omitted.

Other Relatives: WHEN (THAT) When shows Time: - I will never forget the day + I met my best friend that day. I’ll never forget the day (WHEN/THAT) I met my best friend. (WHEN can also be omitted in Defining Relative Clauses).

WHERE Where refers to Places: -This is the hotel + We are staying at the hotel next weekend. This is the hotel WHERE we are staying next weekend. - The city is interesting + my sister is living in the city. The city WHERE my sister is living is interesting.

WHOSE Whose shows Possession and it replaces a Possessive adjective or an ’s possessive: - The man was crying + His house was on fire: The man WHOSE house was on fire was crying. - Have you met the people? + Their son is moving to Barcelona. Have you met the people WHOSE son is moving to Barcelona ?

WHOM Whom is used instead of WHO in Formal Speech when it is the Object of the Relative Clause or after a preposition: - She’s the girl. I sold my books to her. She’s the girl to WHOM I sold my books. (Informal: Sh e’s the girl who I sold my books to. ) - I don’t know the student + The teacher was shouting at the student. I don’t know the student at WHOM the teacher was shouting. (Informal: I don’t know the student who the teacher was shouting at.)

Why Why is used to tell a reason. It can be replaced by that. “Tell me the reason why you did not study harder”.

2. Non-Defining Relative Clauses They give us more (extra) information about a person, animal, thing, … already identified ( by a name, a possessive, …). They go between commas. - Your brother, who gave me the news, saw the accident himself. - I read Martin’s letter, which was full of gossip.

In Non-Defining Relative Clauses we can’t use THAT and we can’t omit the Relatives: -I liked UP, which I’ve seen recently. (not “that”, no Omission) -Mercè Rodoreda, who you just mentioned, is one of the most famous Catalan writers. (not “that”, no Omission) -I’ve found my keys, which I had been looking for. (not “that”, no Omission)

Defining or Non- Defining? Remember: Defining Relative Clauses: -Don’t take commas. -“That” can replace Who, Which and When. - You can omit Who, Which, When and That when they are not the Subject of the Relative Clause. Non-Defining Relative Clauses: -Go between commas. -You can’t use “That”. -You can’t omit the Relatives.

Compare: -The neighbours who live next door are very friendly. -My neighbours, who live next door, are … - I enjoyed the film (which/that) you recommended. - I enjoyed UP, which you recommended.
