The relative pronouns who/that, whose and which/that, and the
relative adverbs where, when and
why introduce relative clauses
e We use who/that to refer to people Relative pronouns as subjects and objects
The lady who/that owns that beautiful house is ® We cannot omit who/which/that when it is the
my Art teacher subject of a relative clause, that is, when there is
e We use which/that to refer to animals, objects not a noun or subject pronoun between the and ideas relative pronoun and the verb
The film which/that won this year’s Oscar is on | met a man He is a pilot
TV tonight
e We use whose with people, objects and animals ! met a man who/that is a pilot
in order to show possession We cannot omit ® We can omit who/which/that when it is the
whose in a relative clause object of a relative clause, that is, when there is
This is the woman whose son is a famous footballer a noun or subject pronoun between the relative
e We don’t use a relative pronoun with another pronoun and the verb
pronoun (|, you, he, him, etc) This is my new scooter | use it to go to work
| know someone who films wildlife documentaries
(NOT: | know a who he-tileas-wildlife- This is my new scooter (which/that) I use to go to

Relatives adverbs |
© We use when to refer to time When is used after nouns such as time, period, moment, day and season It
can be replaced by that or omitted
Do you remember the day (when/that) you passed your driving test? ;
e We use where to refer to places Where is used after nouns such as place, house, street, town and
The town where | come from is really small
° We use why to give reasons Why can be used after the word reason, and in this case it can be replaced by that or omitted
Do you know the reason (why/that) she always feels so tired?
Trang 24
There are two types of relative clauses: defining relative clauses and non-defining relative clauses
ø A defining relative clause gives necessary information and is essential to the meaning of the main
sentence We do not put the clause in commas, and it is introduced with who, which, that, whose, where, when and the reason (why) The relative pronoun can be omitted when it is the object of the relative clause
The family who lives next door is having a party (Which family? The family who lives next door.) Did you find the book (which/that) you were looking for? (Which book? The one which you were looking for.)
e Anon-defining relative clause gives extra information and is not essential to the meaning of the main
sentence The clause is put in commas, and it is introduced with who, which, whose, where and when
We cannot omit the relative pronoun or adverb We cannot use that instead of who or which
Maria, who is very clever, won a Maths competition (‘Maria won a Maths competition’ - the meaning of the sentence is clear; ‘who is very clever’ — the relative clause — gives extra information)
(er Look at the picture and examples on p 22 Look at the words in bold a) Say which are relative
pronouns and which are relative adverbs Underline one defining and one non-defining relative clause What is the difference between defining and non-defining relative clauses? b) Which relative pronoun or adverb can we replace with that?
