RELATIVE SENTENCES

DEFINING RELATIVE CLAUSES  Defining relative clauses tell us some essential information about the things or people they refer to:  The picture that hangs next to Margaret's portrait is the one I like best.  If we remove the words that hangs next to Margaret's portrait we don't know which picture we are talking about.

DEFINING RELATIVE CLAUSES  may begin with the relative pronouns who (for people), which (for things), that (for things and people).  may have who, which or that as the subject or object of the relative clause: ... the picture which/that hangs next to Margaret’s portrait...  (which/ that is the subject of the relative clause) ... the woman who/that he married …  ( who / that is the object of the relative clause, and he is the subject)

DEFINING RELATIVE SENTENCES  very often omit the relative pronoun when it is the object of the relative clause:  The painting we're looking at now... or The painting which/that we're looking at now...  are never separated from the rest of the sentence by commas.  are used in writing and speaking.

NON-DEFINING RELATIVE SENTENCES  Non-defining relative clauses tell us some extra information about the things or people they refer to:  The next painting shows Edmund's wife Margaret, who he married in  If we remove the words who he married in 1605, we still know who we are talking about. It is Edmund's wife, Margaret.

NON-DEFINING RELATIVE SENTENCES  always begin with the relative pronouns who (for people) and which (for things).  may have who or which (but never that) as the subject or object of the relative clause:  The building, which is very old, costs a lot of money to repair. (not that is very old)  The castle's owner, who we’ve just seen, enjoys meeting visitors. (not that we’ve just seen)  never omit the relative pronoun.

NON-DEFINING RELATIVE SENTENCES  must be separated from the rest of the sentence by commas.  are more common in writing than in speaking.

REMEMBER:  We always omit the object pronoun (her, him, it, etc.) when we make a relative clause:  We know little about the woman that he married. (not the woman that he married her)

RELATIVE PRONOUNS AND PREPOSITIONS Both defining and non-defining relative clauses:  can begin with whose (instead of his/her/their), when (for times) and where (for places):  William, whose wife Jane was a famous beauty, had nine children.  can begin with whom (for people) as the object of a clause (this is mainly in written English, and is increasingly rare):  His girlfriend, whom he neglected, became very depressed.  usually have any prepositions at the end of the clause:  The girl he fell in love with was extremely tall.

RELATIVE PRONOUNS AND PREPOSITIONS  We cannot use that after a preposition in a relative clause:  The Conference Room, in which the meeting was held, was not really big enough. (not in that the meeting was held)  A defining relative clause can begin with why, after the words the reason:  This victory was the reason why he became a national hero.  omit why and when:  That was the reason we went there. (= That was the reason why we went there.)  I remember the day I met you. (= I remember the day when I met you.)
