BETREKKELIJKE VOORNAAMWOORDEN & BETREKKELIJKE BIJZINNEN
RELATIVE PRONOUNS
 hebben betrekking op (wijzen naar) het onderwerp van de zin of een bijzin. Je kunt er zinnen mee aan
elkaar koppelen. Je gebruikt:
 WHO / THAT bij personen
 They are the visitors who/that I told you about.
 The man who/that lives there, is my uncle.
 WHICH / THAT bij dingen en dieren
 Those are the cookies which/that I made.
 The dog which/that had attacked a child, was put down.
 Aha! Dan kan ik dus altijd ‘that’ gebruiken?! Nou … nee.
 THAT mag niet gebruikt worden in een bijzin die tussen komma’s staat; THAT komt dus nooit na een
komma!
 The teacher, who has worked here for years, decided to quit his job.
 The horse, which she had trained so well, did not do well in the match.
WHO, WHICH OF THAT WEGLATEN
 Als een bijzin een ander (grammaticaal) onderwerp heeft, mag je het betrekkelijk vnw
weglaten
 The boy (who/that) I spoke to yesterday is not in my class.
 The cat (which/that) my brother took home, was really cute.
vergelijk:
 The man who/that told us about the accident, was really shaken up.
 We had dinner in a restaurant which/that was really well-known.
WHOSE (bezit)
 WHOSE = van wie/wiens
 The actor whose reputation was really bad, decided to change his lifestyle.
 The athlete whose performance has been bad lately, was dropped from the national selection.
 The student, whose health was poor, did well on the tests nonetheless.
 Combinatie met een voorzetsel
 Als je een voorzetsel gebruikt in combinatie met who/which/that, komt dat voorzetsel achteraan in de
bijzin
 She is the girl (who/that) I told you about.
 This is the house which we live in.
 Je mag het voorzetsel ook vóór which of who zetten. Bij which verandert er niets, maar ‘who’ wordt dan
‘whom’
 She is the girl about whom I told you
 The boy to whom you’re talking is 15 years old
