Defining relative clauses:
1: The relative pronoun is the subject:
First, let's consider when the relative pronoun is the
subject of a defining relative clause.
We can use 'who', 'which' or 'that'. We use 'who' for people
and 'which' for things. We can use 'that' for people or things.
The relative clause can come after the subject or the object
of the sentence. We can't drop the relative pronoun.
For example (clause after the object of the sentence):
·
I'm looking for a secretary who /
that can use a computer well.
·
She has a son who / that is a
doctor.
·
We bought a house which / that is
200 years old.
·
I sent a letter which / that arrived
three weeks later.
More examples (clause after the subject of the sentence):
·
The people who / that live on the
island are very friendly.
·
The man who / that phoned is my
brother.
·
The camera which / that costs £100
is over there.
·
The house which / that belongs to
Julie is in London.
2: The relative pronoun is the object:
Next, let's talk about when the relative pronoun is the
object of the clause. In this case we can drop the relative pronoun if we want
to. Again, the clause can come after the subject or the object of the sentence.
Here are some examples:
(Clause after the object)
·
She loves the chocolate (which /
that) I bought.
·
We went to the village (which /
that) Lucy recommended.
·
John met a woman (who / that) I had
been to school with.
·
The police arrested a man (who /
that) Jill worked with.
(Clause after the subject)
·
The bike (which / that) I loved was
stolen.
·
The university (which / that) she
likes is famous.
·
The woman (who / that) my brother
loves is from Mexico.
·
The doctor (who / that) my
grandmother liked lives in New York
