WHAT IS A RELATIVE relative-clauses-exercises/
CLAUSE?
A relative clause is a phrase that adds information
to a sentence. All relative clauses describe a noun,
and they begin with one of these relative
pronouns or relative adverbs.
20 min
Relative Pronouns
who (to describe people subject)
The woman who works in the bank is my neighbor.
whom (to describe people object)
My cousins, one of whom is a doctor, live in England.
whose (to describe possession)
The man whose car was stolen went to the police station.
that (to describe things defining relative clauses)
Im selling the computer that I bought in the U.S.
which (to describe things non-defining relative
clauses)

Im selling this computer, which has a 250-GB hard
drive, for $500.
Relative Adverbs
when (to describe times)
My favorite season is fall, when all the leaves change
color.
where (to describe places)
I visited the neighborhood where I grew up
why (to give a reason)
Do you know the reason why the stores are closed
today?
RELATIVE CLAUSES = BETTER

SENTENCES IN ENGLISH
Here is an example of some English sentences
without relative clauses:
Yesterday I met a man. He works in the circus.

I bought a cell phone. It has internet access.
Theres the restaurant. I ate at that restaurant last night.
These sentences are correct, but they are very
short and simple. You can use relative clauses to
make your sentences in English sound more fluent
and natural:
Yesterday I met a man who works in the circus.
I bought a cell phone that has internet access.
Theres the restaurant where I ate last night.
DEFINING AND NON-DEFINING
RELATIVE CLAUSES
Non-defining relative
clauses add EXTRA information to the sentence.

Defining relative
clauses add ESSENTIAL information to the
sentence.
You can see if a relative clause is defining or non-
defining by removing it from the sentence. If you
remove a non-defining relative clause, the sentence
still has the same meaning. If you remove a
defining relative clause, the sentence has a
different meaning or is incomplete.
Example of a sentence with a NON-DEFINING
relative clause:
My brother, who lives in California, is an engineer.
If you remove who lives in California, the
sentence still has the same meaning:
My brother is an engineer.
The relative clause who lives in California
is extra information.
Example of a sentence with a DEFINING relative
clause:
Thats the student who failed English class three times.
If you remove who failed English class three
times, the sentence is incomplete:
Thats the student.

Therefore, the relative clause who failed English
class three times is essential information, because
it defines which student, specifically, we are talking
about.
In written English, use a comma before and
after non-defining relative clauses.
