a Defining relative clauses: (Mệnh đề quan hệ xác định)

* Định nghĩa:

Mệnh đề quan hệ được gọi là xác định khi nó cần thiết cho ý nghĩa của câu Bỏ nó đi câu sẽ không đầy đủ ý nghĩa (Mô tả những danh từ đứng trước nó để phân biệt với các danh từ khác cùng loại, làm rõ danh từ).

Ex: 1 The woman who lives next door is a doctor.

2 The hotel where we stayed was very clean.

b Non-defining relative clauses: (Mệnh đề quan hệ không xác định)

* Định nghĩa:

Mệnh đề quan hệ được gọi là không xác định khi nó không cần thiết cho ý nghĩa của câu, bỏ nó đi mệnh đề chính vẫn đảm bảo đầy đủ ý nghĩa.

* Đặc điểm:

Mệnh đề quan hệ được gọi là không xác định khi trước nó

là 1 danh từ riêng, hoặc trước danh từ đó có các tính từ sở hữu (my, his, her, your, our, their,…) hay đại từ chỉ định (this , that, these, those…)

Ex: 1 The Thames, which flows through London, is a beautiful river.

2 His daughter, who sat next to me, sang well.

* Note:

_ Giữa mệnh đề chính và mệnh đề quan hệ không xác định có dấu phẩy ngăn cách.

_ Không được lược bỏ đại từ quan hệ trong mệnh đề quan hệ không xác định.

B Connecting contrasting ideas: Although

Cấu trúc trên cũng áp dụng đối với các liên

từ khác trong mệnh đề nhượng bộ, như:

though, even though.

* Note: Nếu các liên từ although, though, even though được đặt ở đầu câu thì mệnh đề chỉ sự

nhượng bộ phải được đặt ngăn cách với mệnh

đề chính bằng 1 dấu phẩy Khi chúng được đặt giữa câu thì giữa 2 mệnh đề không cần dấu phẩy ngăn cách.

Ex: 1 Although the home team lost, they played very well.

2 Even though it was raining, I still went

to school on time.
