2. What is a relative clause?
Relative clauses are subordinate (dependent) clauses introduced by a
relative pronoun; they provide further information about the antecedent
1. Subordinate(dependent) clauses are clauses (groups of words
containing a subject and a verb) which cannot stand alone because they do
not express a complete thought.
eg: This is the painting which my parents gave me for my birthday
things.
3. What is a relative clause?
2. Relative pronouns: who, whoever, whom, whomever, which, whichever,
that, whose (what, when, where can sometimes also function as relative
pronouns).
Who, whoever, whom, whomever, that: used for people
Which, that: used for things
Relative pronouns are useful because they allow us to combine two distinct
but related thoughts into one sentence:
Thought 1) My teacher recommended a book
Thought 2) I bought the book
I bought the book which my teacher recommended
4. What is a relative clause?
2. Relative pronouns (continued): Because they are pronouns, relative
pronouns denote a noun/pronoun that has already been introduced. This
noun is called the antecedent
eg: That’s the lecturer who taught me last semester
NB: In English, unlike in many other languages, the relative pronoun
can be (and often is) omitted
e.g. The student I saw yesterday isn’t here today.
OR: The student whom I saw yesterday isn’t here today.
5. What is a relative clause?
SUMMARY: Relative clauses are subordinate (dependent) clauses
introduced by a relative pronoun; they provide further information about the
antecedent
eg: The students who excel in languages are generally those who are
diligent
eg: This is the book which my father recommended
eg: Those are the flowers that my grandmother grew in her own garden
things.
