Relative clause

• We use ‘relative clause definition’ when we


want to give more information about the
person or thing we are talking about
• Without that information, the sentence will
be meaningless.
These must be occupied for relative
clause:
• WHO: We use it to ask or talk about who receives the action of the verb,
equivalent to “a quien".
• THAT: To refer to a single singular thing
EXAMPLES:
• That’s the woman who stole my coat.
• The hospital where I was born is being knocked down.
• This is the cat which I adopted.
Recommendations:
- It contains essential information about the noun.
- If we eliminate the subordinate clause, the sentence does not make
sense.
- We can substitute the relative pronouns 'which' and 'who' for 'that'. - - The
pronoun can be omitted if it refers to an object.
