 1.

- ARE ALL THOSE WORDS USED TO REPLACE A PREVIOUS MENCIONED

NOUN.
 2.- WORDS USED TO AVOID THE REDUNDANCE.
 3.- START A DEFINING OR A NON- DEFINING RELATIVE CLAUSE.

 WHAT IS A DEFINING RELATIVE CLAUSE?

 WE USE DEFINING RELATIVE CLAUSES TO ADD ESSENTIAL
INFORMATION TO A SENTENCE. THE CLAUSE GOES IMMEDIATELY
AFTER THE NOUN IT DESCRIBES.
 “THIS IS THE MAN WHO SOLD ME THE CAR.”
 THIS IS THE MAN……………… DON´T COMMUNICATE NOTHING.
WHAT IS A NON-DEFINING RELATIVE CLAUSE?
We use non-defining relative clauses to add
non-essential information to a sentence. The
clause goes immediately after the noun it
describes.
 If we removed the relative clause, the
sentence would still make sense of its own.

“Pedro, who is my brother, lives in Ambato.”

“Pedro lives in Ambato.”
