APPENDIX 2

Relative clauses

Defining relative clauses

  • We use defining relative clauses to give more information about a person, thing, place or time and make it clear which one we are talking about.

  • We use these relative pronouns:

  • who or that for people: The people who/that work here are very friendly

  • which or that for things: The bus which/that goes to Paris leaves from here

  • whose for possession: The man whose car was stolen was very upset

  • when or that for a time: I remember the day when/that I started school

  • where for a place: That’s the house where she used to live

  • why or that for a reason: He explained the reason why/ that he was so late

  • A relative pronoun can be the subject or object of relative clause: The man that lives here is very nice. (The man lives here = subject) The man that I met is very nice. (I mat the man = object)

We can leave out the relative pronoun when it is the object of the relative clause: The man I met is very nice.

  • When a verb is followed by a preposition, we usually put the preposition at the end of the relative clause: Is this the bag (that) you were looking for?

  • We don’t use what to introduce a relative clause

  • We don’t use another pronoun (he, she, it, etc.) as well as a relative pronoun

Non-defining relative clauses

  • A non-defining relative clause adds extra information and is not essential to identify the person, thing, etc. we are talking about.

  • We use commas to separate a non-defining relative clause from the rest of the sentence: My sister Anna, who is a teacher, lives in Madrid.

  • We use who for a people and which for things, but we don’t use that.

  • We use where for places, when for time and whose for possession: Edinburgh, where I live, is a very lively city.

  • We can’t leave out the relative pronoun in non-defining relative clauses.
