Relative Clauses
The relative pronouns "who", "which" and "that" are a good start for
definining the topic of relative clauses – "who" finds use in sentences where
we look to identify a person, "which" does the same but for objects and
"that" is more versatile in that it can identify either.
Types of Relative Clauses
While we briefly touched on the different types of relative clauses, their use
and what they can identify, let us expand further on that.
We have two main types of relative clauses, "Non-defining Relative
Clauses" and "Defining Relative Clauses".
Non-defining Relative Clauses
These type of clauses are used to add additional information. Commas are
employed to separate the relative clause from the rest of the sentence. One
defining trait of these type of clauses, aside from their usage, is the fact that
the pronoun "that" cannot be used to replace "which" or "who" in this type of
clause.
Examples:
They define the sustantive and identify which thing or person we are
referring to. Commas are not used with this type of clause.
Examples:
They refer to the shortening of a relative clause. In spite of this, their use
remains the same as that of an unshortened relative clause. In the following
example we’ll show the difference between a relative clause and a reduced
relative clause:
While much of the sentence remains the same, the relative clause (in this
case ‘who works’) shortens to the verb "working".
