Relative Clauses
A relative clause gives more information about a noun. It is introduced by a relative pronoun.
Relative pronouns
- who: for people: The girl who sits next to me is my friend.
- which: for things/animals: The book which I read was excellent.
- that: for people or things (informal): The film that we watched was boring.
- where: for places: The school where I study is very big.
- when: for times: I remember the day when we first met.
- whose: for possession: The man whose car was stolen called the police.
Defining vs Non-defining
- Defining: essential information (no commas): The student who got the best mark won a prize.
- Non-defining: extra information (commas): My brother, who lives in London, is a doctor.
Recuerda
In defining relative clauses, you can omit who/which/that when they are the OBJECT: "The book (that) I read" but NOT "The book that is on the table".
