Unti 3 relative Pronouns & Quantifiers
UNIT 3
RELATIVE CLAUSES
Defining Relative Clauses |
They
describe the preceding noun and give essential information about the
noun. They are introduced by a relative pronoun which can be replaced by
THAT or even omitted (except when the relative pronoun is subject of
the clause or is in the possessive case). They are not separated by
commas. |
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Notice also that: | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
- when usually replaces in/on which (time) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
When, where and why used in this way are called relative adverbs, and can be omitted in the same way as relative pronouns. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Non-defining Relative Clauses
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||
They
are placed after nouns which are definite already; therefore, the
information they add to the noun is not essential. They are always
introduced by a relative pronoun which cannot be replaced by THAT and
they are separated by commas. |
| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Connective Relative Clauses
| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
They have the same form as non-defining relative clauses. They do not describe a noun but continue the story. They are introduced by who, which and whose, which can be replaced by and or but. They are usually placed after the object of the main verb or after the preposition + noun structure: | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
I told Jane, WHO said it wasn't her business
(BUT she said it wasn't her business) | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
We went with John, WHOSE car broke down before we got there
(BUT his car broke down before we got there) | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
He drank a lot of whisky, WHICH made him ill
(AND it made him ill) | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
WHICH can also stand for a whole sentence: | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
They asked me to go away, WHICH was very rude
They said it was his fault, WHICH wasn't true |
