1. Relative clauses brief explanation

2. Hi friends! In this lesson, I am going to talk about the relative clauses. Pay attention and learn!

3. There are two types of relatives clauses: 1. Defining relative clauses 2. Non-defining relative clauses

4. A defining relative clauses gives essential information about somebody or something. EX.: He is the man who lives next door. It's an information about the man.

5. In this kind of clause, 'that' can be used instead of who/which. Ex.: he is the man that lives next door.

6. A non-defining relative clauses gives extra information about a person o thing, not essential. In written English, this clause is separated by a comma. Ex.: My uncle, who lives in Manchester, come to London for Christmas.

7. But, in this kind of clause, you cannot use 'that' instead of who/which.

8. Relative pronoun referred to persons. Ex.: She is the woman who her daughter works with me.

9. Relative pronoun referred to persons. Ex.: My sister is the only person to whom I can talk.

10. Who/whom These two pronouns are referred to persons, but who refers to the subject of the sentence, and whom refers to the object. Ex.: The person who phoned me last night is my teacher. Ex.: The person whom I phoned last night is my teacher.

11. Relative pronouns referred to things and non-persons. Ex.: The car which I drive is new.

12. This pronoun is used to mean 'of who'/'of which'. It's for possession. Ex.: The police are looking for the car whose driver was masked.

13. It's used as a relative pronoun to mean 'the thing' or 'the things which'. Ex.: She told me what she had seen.

14. The relative pronoun where is used to refer to place. The relative pronoun when is used to refer to time.

15. When/where • The day when the concert takes place is Sunday. • The site where the concert takes place is Golden Gate Park.

16. And that's all about this lesson. I hope you learn!
