Trang 1Ta sử dụng mệnh đề quan hệ để bổ sung thông tin cho sự vật, hiện tượng con người
được nhắc đến trong câu mà không cần phải dùng câu thứ 2 Bằng cách kết hợp các
câu lại với nhau bằng mệnh đề quan hệ, bài viết sẽ trở nên lưu loát hơn và có thể tránh việc lặp lại một số từ ngữ nhất định
Ex: A girl is talking to Tom Do you know the girl?
Hỏi 2 câu như thế sẽ rất dài dòng Ta gộp lại bằng mệnh đề quan hệ như sau:
Do you know the girl who is talkng to Tom?
1 Đại từ quan hệ: ( Relative pronouns )
Khi các đại từ who, whom, whose, which, that được dùng để giới thiệu mệnh đề
quan hệ, chúng được gọi là đại từ quan hệ
a) WHO: được dùng làm chủ ngữ (subject) hoặc tân ngữ (object) thay cho danh từ
chỉ người
Ex: - The man who is standing over there is Mr.Pike ( Người đứng ở kia là ông Pike)
- That’s the girl who has won the medal
( Đó là cô gái đã đoạt huy chương vàng)
- The girl who you saw at the concert is Jonh’s sister
( Cô gái mà bạn gặp ở buổi hòa nhạc là em gái của John)
b) WHOM : dùng làm tân ngữ trong mệnh đề quan hệ ( thay cho who) Whom thường
được dùng trong văn phong trang trọng
Ex:
- I was invited by the professor whom/ who I met at the conference
( Tôi được mời bởi vị giáo sư, người mà tôi gặp ở hội nghị )
The boy whom/ who you are looking for is Tom
Trang 2S ư u t ầ m , t ổ n g h ợ p P a g e 2 | 32
c) WHICH:
Dùng để làm chủ ngữ hoặc tân ngữ thay cho danh từ chỉ đồ vật, con vật
Ex:
- This is the book which I like best ( Đây là cuốn sách mà tôi thích nhất)
- The cat which I recently bought is a tri – colored cat ( con mèo tôi vừa mua là một con mèo tam thể )
- The accident which Daniel saw wasn’t very dangerous ( Tai nạn mà Daniel đã chứng kiến không nghiêm trọng lắm)
Dùng để chỉ nguyên 1 câu/ mệnh đề
- He couldn’t read, which surprised me
- He got bad mark, which made his parents sad
d) THAT: có thể thay thế cho vị trí của who, whom, which trong mệnh đề quan hệ xác
định
Các trường hợp thường dùng “ that”
- Khi đi sau các hình thức so sánh nhất
He is the most intelligent boy that I have ever met
She is one of the kindest people (that) I know
- Sau các tiền tố hỗn hợp cả người lẫn vật
We can see farmers and cattle that are going to the field
- Sau các đại từ bất định: nothing, everything, something, anything
He just said anything that came into his head
- Sau all, little, much, none được dùng như đại từ
These walls are all that remain of the city
Các trường hợp không dùng “that”:
- Sau mệnh đề quan hệ không xác định
- Sau giới từ
Laura couldn’t find the box in that she kept her photos
Laura couldn’t find the box in which she kept her photos ( đúng)
e) WHOSE : để chỉ sự sở hữu cho danh từ chỉ người hoặc vật đứng trước Whose được
dùng như những từ hạn định đứng trước danh từ thay cho các tính từ sở hữu his, her, its, their Whose + noun có thể làm chủ ngữ hoặc tân ngữ trong mệnh đề quan hệ
The boy whose bicycle you borrowed yesterday is Tom
John found a cat whose leg was broken
It was a meeting whose purpose I didn’t understand
Note: thay vì dùng WHOSE , ta cũng có thể dùng OF WHICH để chỉ sự sở hữu của vật
( of which kém trang trọng hơn whose)
Trang 3S ư u t ầ m , t ổ n g h ợ p P a g e 3 | 32
Ex: He’s writen a book whose name I’ve forgetten = He’s writen a book the name of which I’ve forgetten
2 Trạng từ quan hệ ( Relative adverbs)
Các trạng từ như where, when, why có thể được dùng để chỉ mệnh đề quan hệ sau các
danh từ chỉ thời gian, nơi chốn và lí do
a) WHY: mở đầu cho mệnh đề quan hệ chỉ lý do, thường thay cho cụm for the reason, for that reason
… N (reason) + WHY + S + V …
Ex: I don’t know the reason You didn’t go to school for that reason
→ I don’t know the reason why you didn’t go to school
b) WHERE: thay thế từ chỉ nơi chốn, thường thay cho there
….N (place) + WHERE + S + V …
(WHERE = ON / IN / AT + WHICH)
Ex: The hotel wasn’t very clean We stayed at that hotel
→ The hotel where we stayed wasn’t very clean
→ The hotel at which we stayed wasn’t very clean
c) WHEN: thay thế từ chỉ thời gian, thường thay cho từ then
….N (time) + WHEN + S + V …
(WHEN = ON / IN / AT + WHICH)
Ex: Do you still remember the day? We first met on that day
→ Do you still remember the day when we first met
→ Do you still remember the day on which we first met?
I don’t know the time She will come back then
→ I don’t know the time when she will come back
NOTE:
- Trong mệnh đề quan hệ XÁC ĐỊNH when và why có thể lược bỏ, thay thế bằng that
Ex: I’ll never forget the day ( when/ that) I met her
The reason (why/ that) I didn’t phone you was that I didn’t have your phone number
- Where có thể bỏ hoặc thay thế bằng that khi where đứng sau các từ somewhere,
anywhere, everywhere, nowhere và place ( không được bỏ khi where đứng sau các từ
khác)
Ex: Have you got somewhere ( where/ that) I can lie down for an hour
( Bạn có chỗ nào cho tôi ngã lưng một tiếng đồng hồ không)
We need a place ( where/ that) we can stay for a few days
[ NOT we need a house that we can stay for s few days]
- Không dùng giới từ ( prepositions) trong mệnh đề quan hệ bằng các trạng từ quan hệ
where, when và why
Ex: The building in where he lives is very old ( Sai )
Nhưng có thể dùng: The building in which he lives is very old
Trang 4S ư u t ầ m , t ổ n g h ợ p P a g e 4 | 32
I’ll never forget the day when I met you [ NOT on when I met you or when I met you on] when = on which
- Where có thể được dùng mà không có danh từ chỉ nơi chốn đi trước
Ex: Put it where we can all see it
Có hai loại mệnh đề quan hệ: mệnh đề quan hệ xác định và mệnh đề quan hệ không xác định
1 Mệnh đề quan hệ xác định (Defining relative clauses): là mệnh đề được dùng để
xác định danh từ đứng trước nó Mệnh đề xác định là mệnh đề cần thiết cho ý nghĩa của câu, không có nó câu sẽ không đủ nghĩa Nó được sử dụng khi danh từ là danh
từ không xác định và không dùng dấu phẩy ngăn cách nó với mệnh đề chính
Ex: The city which I visited last summer is very beautiful
(Defining relative clause)
Trong mệnh đề quan hệ xác định, ta có thể bỏ các đại từ quan hệ làm tân ngữ who, whom, which, that và các trạng từ when, why, nhất là trong lối văn thân mật
Ex: The women you met yesterday works in advertising (bỏ whom/who )
The book you lent me was very interesting ( bỏ which/that)
Do you remember the day we met each other? (bỏ when)
2 Mệnh đề quan hệ không hạn định (Non-defining relative clauses): là mệnh đề
cung cấp thêm thông tin về một người, một vật hoặc một sự việc đã được xác định Mệnh đề không xác định là mệnh đề không nhất thiết phải có trong câu, không có nó câu vẫn đủ nghĩa Nó được sử dụng khi danh từ là danh từ xác định và được ngăn cách với mệnh đề chính bằng một hoặc hai dấu phẩy (,) hay dấu gạch ngang (-)
Ex: Dalat, which I visited last summer, is very beautiful
(Non-defining relative clause)
- Không dùng đại từ quan hệ THAT trong mệnh đề quan hệ không xác định
- Không thể bỏ các đai từ quan hệ làm tân ngữ who/ whom/ which và các trạng từ
where/ when/ why của mệnh đề không xác định
Note: để biết khi nào dùng mệnh đề quan hệ không xác định, ta lưu ý các điểm sau:
- Khi danh từ mà nó bổ nghĩa là một danh từ riêng
- Khi danh từ mà nó bổ nghĩa là một tính từ sở hữu (my, his, her, their)
- Khi danh từ mà nó bổ nghĩa là một danh từ đi với this , that, these, those
Trong mệnh đề quan hệ, khi mệnh đề quan hệ làm tân ngữ của giới từ thì giới từ thường có 2 vị trí, trước các đại từ quan hệ hoặc sau động từ
Chỉ áp dụng cho 2 đại từ quan hệ : WHOM & WHICH
Trang 5S ư u t ầ m , t ổ n g h ợ p P a g e 5 | 32
1 Giới từ đứng trước đại từ : dùng trong lối văn TRANG TRỌNG
Ex:
- The man to whom my mother is talking is my form teacher
- The restaurant to which we normally go is closed today
- Mr Carter, to whom I spoke on the phone last night, is very interested in our plan
- Fortunately we had a map, without which we would have got lost
2 Giới từ đứng sau động từ: dùng trong lối văn THÂN MẬT
Ex:
That’s the man who/ whom/ that I was talking about
The picture that/which she was looking at was famous
Sandra, who/ whom we had been waiting for, finally arrived
Yesterday we visit the musium, which I’ve never been to before
Trong mệnh đề quan hệ xác định, đại từ quan hệ làm tân ngữ của giới từ ( who, whom, which, that) thường được bỏ và giới từ luôn đứng sau động từ
Ex:
That’s the man I was talking about
The picture she was looking at was famous
Was that the restaurant you normally go to?
NOTE:
- Giới từ không đứng trước that hoặc who
She is the women who I told you about
[ NOT: She is the women about who I told you ]
The bus that I’m waiting for is late
[NOT : The bus for that I’m waiting is late.]
- Với cụm động từ ( phrasal verb ) thì giới từ không đứng trước whom và which
Ex: Did you find the word which/that you were looking up ?
[ NOT the word up which you were looking ]
The child who/ whom/ that I have looked after for a year is very naughty
[NOT after whom I have looked ]
- Giới từ without không dùng ở vị trí sau động từ
Ex: The woman without whom I can’t live is Jane
[ NOT the woman whom/ who I can’t live without ]
3 Trong mệnh đề KHÔNG xác định, các cụm từ chỉ số lượng all of/ most of/ neither of/ either of/ many of/ có thể được dùng với whom, which và whose
Trang 6S ư u t ầ m , t ổ n g h ợ p P a g e 6 | 32
Ex: Mary had three brothers, all of whom are married
[ NOT all of who]
Tom tried on three jackets, none of which fitted him
Two men, neither of whom I had ever seen before, came into my office
She had a Teddy bear, both of whose eyes were missing
1 Mệnh đề quan hệ được rút thành cụm phân từ:
Mệnh đề quan hệ chứa các đại từ quan hệ làm chủ từ who, which, that có thể được
rút gọn thành cụm hiện tại phân từ (V-ing) hoặc quá khứ phân từ (V3/ed)
a) Hiện tại phân từ ( V-ing)
Được dùng khi mệnh đề quan hệ cần rút gọn ở dạng chủ động
Bỏ who, which, that và be ( nếu có ) và lấy động từ thêm ING
- The man who is standing there is handsome
The man standing there is handsome ( bỏ who is )
- The president made a speech for the famous man who visited him
The president made a speech for the famous man visiting him
b) Quá khứ phân từ ( V3/ed)
Được dùng khi mệnh đề quan hệ cần rút gọn ở dạng bị động
Bỏ who, which, that và be, chuyển động từ về quá khứ phân từ
Ex: The book which is written by Mr.A is interesting
The book written by Mr.A is interesting ( bỏ which, is, đưa write về written )
2 Cụm danh từ ( Noun phrases)
- Mệnh đề quan hệ không xác định có thể rút gọn bằng cụm danh từ
- Dùng khi mệnh đề tính từ có dạng
S+ BE + DANH TỪ / CỤM DANH TỪ/ CỤM GIỚI TỪ
Cách làm : bỏ who, which và be
Football, which is a popular sport, is very good for health
Football, which is a popular sport, is very good for health
Football, a popular sport, is very good for health

the army

c Đầu câu có HERE (BE),THERE (BE)
There are six letters which have to be written today
There are six letters to be written today
Here is a form that you must fill in
Here is a form for you to fill in
NOTE:
Trong phần to inf này các bạn cần nhớ 2 điều sau:
- Nếu chủ ngữ của 2 mệnh đề khác nhau thì thêm cụm for sb trước to inf
We have some picture books that children can read
Trang 8S ư u t ầ m , t ổ n g h ợ p P a g e 8 | 32
We have some picture books for children to read
Tuy nhiên nếu chủ từ đó là đại từ có nghĩa chung chung như we,you,everyone thì có thể không cần ghi ra
Studying abroad is the wonderful thing that we must think about
Studying abroad is the wonderful thing (for us ) to think about
- Nếu trước relative pronoun có giới từ thì phải đem xuống cuối câu ( đây là lỗi dễ sai nhất)
We have a peg on which we can hang our coat
We have a peg to hang our coat on
NOTE: PHƯƠNG PHÁP LÀM BÀI LOẠI RÚT GỌN:
Khi học thì ta học từ dễ đến khó nhưng khi làm bài thì ngược lại phải suy luận từ khó đến
This is the first man who was arrested by police yesterday
Mới nhìn ta thấy đây là câu bị động ,nếu vội vàng thì sẽ dễ dàng biến nó thành :
This is the first man arrested by police yesterday (sai)
Thật ra đáp án là : “This is the first man to be arrested by police yesterday đúng”
Vậy thì làm thế nào để không sai:
Các em hãy lần lượt làm theo các bước sau:
1 Nhìn xem mệnh đề có công thức S + BE + CỤM DANH TỪ không? Nếu có thì áp dụng công thức rút gọn thành cụm danh từ
2 Nếu không có công thức đó thì xem tiếp trước who, which có các dấu hiệu first, only v v không, nếu có thì áp dụng công thức đổi sang cụm động từ nguyên mẫu (to inf.) lưu ý thêm xem 2 chủ từ có khác nhau không ( để dùng for sb )
3 Nếu không có 2 trường hợp trên mới xét xem câu đó chủ động hay bị động mà dùng VING hay P.P

Bằng cách sử dụng câu hỏi đuôi, người nói ngụ ý rằng câu khẳng định phía trước là đúng Bạn biết hôm nay trời đẹp và gợi ý để người đối diện nói chuyện tiếp Phần đuôi này không thực sự là câu hỏi
positivie statement + negative question tag
Ex: The children can swim, can't they ?
- Câu hỏi đuôi khẳng định (auxiliary verb + pronoun) được dùng sau câu trần thuật phủ định
negative statement + positive question tag
Ex: You haven't seen Mary today, have you ?
Lưu ý:
1 Nếu trong câu trần thuật có trợ động từ hoặc động từ to be thì trợ động từ này được lặp lại trong câu hỏi đuôi
Ex: She will come, won't she ?
Ex: There was a lot of traffic, wasn't there ?
Ex: We don't have to pay, do we ?
2 Nếu câu trần thuật không có trợ động từ, dùng trợ động từ to do (do/does/did)
Trang 34T à i l i ệ u s ư u t ầ m , t ổ n g h ợ p P a g e 2 | 28
Ex: You live near here, don't you ?
Ex: You locked the door, didn't you ?
3 Một số dạng câu hỏi láy đuôi đặc biệt
- Đại từ this / that được thay bằng “it”; these / those được thay bằng “they”
Ex: That is his car, isn’t it?
These are your new shoes, aren’t they?
- “There” trong cấu trúc “there + be” được dùng lại ở phần đuôi
Ex: There aren’t any students in the classroom, are there?
- Câu nói có trợ động từ (will / can / shall / should / is / are …): trợ động từ được lặp lại ở
phần đuôi
Ex: You will come early, won’t you?
- Phần đuôi của ought to là SHOULDN’T
Ex: She ought to do exercise every morning, shouldn’t she?
- Câu hỏi đuôi của I am là aren't I – nhưng nếu không có not thì lại dùng am I
Ex: I am late, aren't I ?
I am not guilty, am I?
- Hãy lưu ý rằng các câu có những từ như neither, no, none, no one, nobody, nothing, scarcely, barely, hardly, hardly ever, seldom được xem như là những lời tường thuật phủ định và được theo
sau bởi một câu hỏi đuôi khẳng định
Ex: No salt is allowed, is it ?
Ex: Peter hardly ever goes to parties, does he ?
Ex: Neither of them complained, did they ?
- Với everybody, everyone, somebody, someone, nobody, no one chúng ta dùng đại từ they
Ex: Everyone warned you, didn't they ?
Ex: Someone had recognized him, hadn't they ?
- Nếu là câu mệnh lệnh, câu hỏi đuôi là "will you" dù có not hay không có not
Ex: Don't drop that vase, will you ?
Sau một yêu cầu bằng mệnh lệnh cách (chẳng hạn như: Wait ), ta có thể dùng can
you? hoặc could you?
Trang 35T à i l i ệ u s ư u t ầ m , t ổ n g h ợ p P a g e 3 | 28
Ex: Wait here a moment, can you?
Ex: Give me an example, could you?
- Dùng phần đuôi WON’T YOU để diễn tả lời mời
Ex: Have a piece of cake, won’t you?
- Câu đầu là I wish – dùng may
Ex: I wish to study English, may I ?
- Chủ từ là one – dùng you hoặc one
Ex: One can be one's master, can't you/one ?
- Câu đầu có must
Must có nhiều cách dùng cho nên tùy theo cách dùng mà có câu hỏi đuôi khác nhau
+ Must chỉ sự cần thiết, dùng needn't
Ex: They must study hard, needn't they ?
+ Must chỉ sự cấm đoán, dùng must
Ex: You mustn't come late, must you ?
+ Must chỉ sự dự đoán ở hiện tại, dựa vào động từ theo sau must
Ex: He must be a very intelligent student, isn't he ?
+ Must chỉ sự dự đoán ở quá khứ (trong công thức must + have + PP), dùng have/has
Ex: You must have stolen my bike, haven't you ?
- Let ở đầu câu :
Let đầu câu có nhiều dạng cần phân biệt
+ Let's trong câu rủ - dùng shall we ?
Ex: Let's go out, shall we ?
+Let trong câu xin phép (let us/let me), dùng will you ?
Ex: Let us use the telephone, will you ?
+Let dùng trong câu đề nghị giúp người khác (let me), dùng may I ?
Ex: Let me help you do it, may I ?
- Câu cảm thán
Lấy danh từ trong câu đổi thành đại từ, dùng am/is/are
Ex: What a beautiful dress, isn't it ?
Ex: What a stupid boy, isn't he ?
- Câu đầu có I + các động từ sau : think, believe, suppose, figure, assume, fancy, imagine,
reckon, expect, see, feel + mệnh đề phụ
Lấy mệnh đề phụ làm câu hỏi đuôi
Ex: I think he will come here, won't he ?
Ex: I don't believe Mary can do it, can she ? (lưu ý, mệnh đề chính có not thì vẫn tính như ở
mệnh đề phụ)
Trang 36T à i l i ệ u s ư u t ầ m , t ổ n g h ợ p P a g e 4 | 28
Cùng mẫu này nhưng nếu chủ từ không phải là I dùng mệnh đề đầu làm câu hỏi đuôi
Ex: She thinks he will come, doesn't she ?
- Câu đầu có It seems that + mệnh đề: Lấy mệnh đề làm câu hỏi đuôi
Ex: It seems that you are right, aren't you ?
- Chủ từ là mệnh đề danh từ: Dùng "it"
Ex: What you have said is wrong, isn't it ?
Ex: Why he killed himself seems a secret, doesn't it ?
- USED TO: Trường hợp này, ta cứ việc xem USED TO là một động từ chia ở thì quá khứ Do đó, câu hỏi đuôi tương ứng chỉ cần mượn trợ động từ DID
Ex: She used to live here, didn’t she?
- HAD BETTER: “had better” thường được viết ngắn gọn thành ‘D BETTER, nên dễ khiến ta
lúng túng khi phải lập câu hỏi đuôi tương ứng Khi thấy ‘D BETTER, chỉ cần mượn trợ động
từ HAD để lập câu hỏi đuôi
Ex: He’d better stay, hadn’t he?
- WOULD RATHER: Would rather thường được viết gọn là ‘D RATHER nên cũng dễ gây
lúng túng cho bạn Chỉ cần mượn trợ động từ WOULD cho trường hợp này để lập câu hỏi đuôi
Ex: You’d rather go, wouldn’t you?
III CÁCH TRẢ LỜI CÂU HỎI ĐUÔI:
Khi trả lời câu hỏi đuôi chúng ta phải trả lời theo đúng sự thật của hoàn cảnh hay tình huống Câu
trả lời của bạn phản ánh các sự kiện thực tế, không (nhất thiết) phải ở câu hỏi
Ví dụ như, mọi người đều biết là tuyết thì trắng vì thế hãy xem xét các câu hỏi và cách trả lới một cách hợp lý :
Tag question Correct
answer
Snow is white,
isn't it? Yes (it is) Câu trả lời giống nhau trong cả hai trường hợp - Nhưng lưu ý cách nhấn
mạnh trong thay đổi ở đây là

Snow isn't white,
Vì tuyết thì có màu trắng! người trả lời không đồng ý với
người hỏi
Snow is black,
isn't it? No it isn't! Câu trả lời giống nhau
trong cả hai trường hợp -
Vì tuyết thì không có màu đen!
Snow isn't black,
is it? No (it isn't)
Trong một vài ngôn ngữ khác, người ta sẽ trả lời yes cho các câu hỏi như "Snow isn't black, is it?" (YES đối với họ có nghĩa là tôi đồng ý với câu hỏi "Yes, I agree with you") Đây là cách trả lời hoàn toàn sai trong tiếng Anh!
Các ví dụ với các câu trả lời đúng cách:
The moon goes round the earth, doesn't it? Yes, it does
The earth is bigger than the moon, isn't it? Yes
The earth is bigger than the sun, isn't it? No, it isn't!
Asian people don't like rice, do they? Yes, they do!
Elephants live in Europe, don't they? No, they don't!
Men don't have babies, do they? No
The English alphabet doesn't have 40 letters, does it? No, it doesn't
