introduction to Relative Clause

موضوع: introduction to Relative Clause 2011-12-02, 14:38

A relative clause—also called an adjective or adjectival clause—will meet three requirements.

* First, it will contain a subject and verb.
* Next, it will begin with a relative pronoun [who, whom, whose, that, or which] or a relative adverb [when, where, or why].
* Finally, it will function as an adjective, answering the questions What kind? How many? or Which one?

---------------

We can use relative clauses to join two English sentences, or to give more information about something.

I bought a new car. It is very fast.
→ I bought a new car that is very fast.

She lives in New York. She likes living in New York.
→ She lives in New York, which she likes.

types of relative clauses

Defining and Non-defining

A defining relative clause tells which noun we are talking about:

* I like the woman who lives next door.
(If I don’t say ‘who lives next door’, then we don’t know which woman I mean)

A non-defining relative clause gives us extra information about something. We don’t need this information to understand the sentence.

* I live in London, which has some fantastic parks.
(Everybody knows where London is, ‘which has some fantastic parks’ is extra information)
