POSSESSIVE

ADJECTIVES
Possessive adjectives a i e
used t o show possession
o i ow nei s hip o f
something. While we use
t he m when we i e f e i t o
people, it is m o i e in t he
sense of i e l a t i o n s h i p t h a n
owneiship.
They modify t he noun.
 POSSESSIVE PRONOUNS

As with possessive adjectives,

we use possessive p i o n o u n s t o
indicat e who owns something,
b u t with p i o n o u n s we don’t
use a noun. We use possessive
p i o n o u n s when it is c l e a i
which objec t we a i e i e f e i i i n g
to.
Julie's c a i is ied. Mine is
blue.

What c a n y ou say a b o u t
them?
RELATIVE PRONOUNS
We use íelative píonouns to intíoduce íelative clauses. Relative clauses tell us
moí e about people and things:

• Mis. Rodiiguez , who is 76, has just íetiíed.

• This is t he house which Jack built.
• M a i i e C u i i e is t he woma n that discoveíed íadium.
We use:

Who f o i peo pl e = 'The p e i s o n who lives next d o o i is a doctoi.’

Which f o i t hings = 'The c a i which y ou b o u g h t is cool.’

Whose = is used t o show owneiship/possession 'The woma n whose son y ou

met.’

That f o i peo pl e o i things. ‘That’ Can b e used i nf oi mal l y ins t ead o f ‘who’ a n d
‘which’.
RELATIVE ADVERBS
Relative adveíbs a í e used like íelative píonouns:

When = is used f o i a time. 'The time when I last saw you.'

Wheíe = is used f o i a place 'The place wheí e I used t o live.'

Why = is used f o i a i e a s o n 'The i e a s o n why I a m late.'

CLAUSES
WHAT IS A CLAUSE?
A clause is a gí oup of woíds that contains a
veíb (and usually otheí components too). A
clause may foím p a í t of a sentence o í it may
be a complete sentence in itself.

Foí example:
H e was eating a bacon sandwich.
 RELATIVE CLAUSES
We use íelative clauses to give extía infoímation about
something. We can get moíe infoímation into a sentence
without the need to staít a new one. Relative clauses a í e non-
essential paíts of a sentence. They may ad d meaning, but if
they a í e íemoved, the sentence will still function
gíammatically.

I want t o live in a place wheie t h e i e is lots t o do.

Yesteiday was a d a y when eveiything went wiong!
Einstein, who was b o i n in Geimany, is f am ous f o i his t h e o i y of
ielativity.
In t he s u m m e i I'm g o i n g t o visit Italy, wheie my b i o t h e i lives.
 RELATIVE CLAUSES: DEFINING
A defining o í essential clause tells us which specific p e i s o n o i t h in g
we a i e talking a b o u t in a l a i g e i g i o u p o f people o i things. If a
defining ielative clause is iemoved, the meaning o f the sentence
changes significantly. A defining ielative clause is n o t s e p a i a t e d
f i o m the i e s t o f the sentence by c ommas o i paientheses.

Examples

- The woman who visited me in the hospital was veiy kind.

- The u m b i e l l a that I bought last week is a l i e a d y biok en .
- The m a n who stole my backpack has been a iie s t e d .
 RELATIVE CLAUSES: NON-DEFINING
A non-defining o í non-essential clause gives us m o i e i n f o i m a t i o n
a b o u t the p e i s o n o i t h in g we a i e talking about. If a non-defining
ielative clause is i e m o v e d f i o m a sentence, we lose some detail,
b u t the ov eiall meaning o f the sentence ie m a in s the same. Non-
defining ielative clauses a i e always set off f i o m the i e s t o f the
sentence with c ommas o i paientheses.

Examples
- The f a i m e i , whose name was Fíed, sold us 10 p o u n d s o f potatoes.
- Elephants, which a í e the laígest land mammals, live in h e i d s o f 10
o i m o i e adults.
- The a u t h o i , who gíaduated fíom the same univeísity I did, gave a
wo nde if u l piesentation.
- My m o t h e i , who is 86, lives in Paiis.

- I was shieí when I was a boy.
- My siste í was the peíson who cut the floweí.
- The woman who is wea í ing a í ed díe ss is my mom.

- I loved candy when I was a giíl.
- That dog, which is playing, is mine.

PRONOUNS AS

 RELATIVE PRONOUNS AS SUBJECTS AND
OBJECTS
If t he ielative p i o n o u n is followed by a veib, t he ielative p i o n o u n is a subject
p i o n o u n . Subject p i o n o u n s mus t always b e used.

the apple which is lying on the table

If t he ielative p i o n o u n is n o t followed by a v e i b (but by a n o u n o i pionoun),

t he ielative p i o n o u n is a n obj ec t p i o n o u n .
