RELATIVE CLAUSE 2 (MỆNH ĐỀ QUAN HỆ)

1. Cách dùng:
Có 2 loại mệnh đề quan hệ : MĐQH xác định và MĐQH không xác định

2. Công thức:
a. Mệnh đề quan hệ xác định

Đây là mệnh đề cung cấp những thông tin quan trọng cần thiết để xác định danh từ hoặc cụm
danh từ đứng trước và nếu bỏ mệnh đề này đi thì câu sẽ tối nghĩa.

Mệnh đề quan hệ xác định được sử dụng khi danh từ là danh từ không xác định và không dùng
dấu phẩy ngăn cách nó với mệnh đề chính.

Ví dụ:

- Do you remember the time when we first met each other? (Bạn có nhớ lần đầu tiên chúng ta
gặp nhau không?)

- The boy who is wearing a blue T shirt is my little brother. ( Cậu bé mặc áo phông màu xanh
là em trai tôi.)

b. Mệnh đề quan hệ không xác định

Đây là mệnh đề cung cấp thêm thông tin cho chủ ngữ và nếu bỏ mệnh đề này đi thì câu vẫn có
nghĩa. Mệnh đề quan hệ không xác định có dấu hiệu nhận biết là dấu phảy “,”.

Ví dụ:

- Taylor Swift, who is famous all round the world, is a singer. ( Taylor Swift, người nổi tiếng
khắp thế giới, là một ca sĩ)

- Hanoi, which is the capital of Vietnam, has been developing rapidly in recent years. (Hà Nội,
thủ đô của Việt Nam, đã phát triển nhanh chóng trong những năm gần đây.)
