2 Grammar:

a) Defining relative clauses.

Ex1: The woman who/that lives next door is

a journalist

Ex2: A book which/that is very expensive

has a lot of valuable information

- Who/ that is used as a subject for people.

- Which/ that is used as a subject for things.

Trang 5

2 Grammar:

b) Non-defining relative clauses

- These clauses give us more information

about a person or thing already identified

- When we write these clauses, we must use

“comma (,)” at the beginning and at the end

of the clauses

- These clauses are used in sentences containing: + proper name/noun (Ha Long Bay, John, Sirley…)

+ possessive adjectives (my, his, her, their, our, its)

+ demonstrative pronouns (this, that, these, those); etc

- In non-defining relative clauses, we

cannot use “that” and we cannot leave out

“who” or “which”.

Ex1: John , who (not “that”) speaks French

and Italia, works as a tour guide

Ex2: Dick told me about his new job ,

which he’s enjoying very well.
