Relative Clauses (Article)
Relative clauses are clauses
starting with the relative pronouns who*, that, which, whose, where, when.
They are most often used to define or identify the noun that precedes them.
Here are some examples:
·
Do you know the girl who started in grade 7
last week?
·
Can I have the pencil that I gave you this
morning?
·
A notebook is a computer which can be carried
around.
·
I won't eat in a restaurant whose cooks smoke.
·
I want to live in a place where there is lots
to do.
·
Yesterday was a day when everything went wrong!
* There is a relative pronoun whom,
which can be used as the object of the relative clause. For example: My
science teacher is a person whom I like very much. To many people the word whom
now sounds old-fashioned, and it is rarely used in spoken English.
Some relative
clauses are not used to define or identify the preceding noun but to give extra
information about it. Here are some examples:
·
My ESL teacher, who came to Germany in 1986, likes to
ride his mountain bike.
·
The heavy rain, which was unusual for the time of
year, destroyed most of the plants in my garden.
·
Einstein, who was born in Germany, is famous for his
theory of relativity.
·
The boy, whose parents both work as teachers at the
school, started a fire in the classroom.
·
My mother's company, which makes mobile phones, is
moving soon from Frankfurt to London.
·
In the summer I'm going to visit Italy, where my
brother lives.
There are two common occasions,
particularly in spoken English, when the relative pronoun is omitted:
1. When the pronoun is the object of
the relative clause. In the following sentences the pronoun that can be left
out is enclosed in (brackets):
·
Do you know the girl (who/m) he's talking to?
·
Where's the pencil (which) I gave you yesterday?
·
I haven't read any of the books (that) I got for
Christmas.
·
I didn't like that girl (that) you brought to the
party.
·
Did you find the money (which) you lost?
2. When the relative clause contains
a present or past participle and the auxiliary verb to be. In such cases
both relative pronoun and auxiliary can be left out:
·
Who's that man (who is) standing by the gate?
·
The family (that is) living in the next house comes
from Slovenia.
·
She was wearing a dress (which was) covered in blue
flowers.
·
Most of the parents (who were) invited to the
conference did not come.
·
Anyone (that is) caught writing on the walls will be
expelled from school.
