Short presentation with some information about relative sentences and relative pronouns

1. RELATIVE
CLAUSES

2. RELATIVE SENTENCES
 Defining relative clauses:
They are used to give essential information. Without
this information, the sentence would not make sense.
Example: They've sold the grocery where I used to go
shopping
RELATIVE PRONOUNS
That/ which To talk about things. That is
more informal than which
or who
Who/ that To talk about people
When To talk about times/periods
Where To talk about places

3. RELATIVE CLAUSES
 Non- defining relative clauses:
They are used to give non-essential information.
Without this information, the sentence would still
make sense.
Example: My sister, who I live with, knows a lot about
cars.
RELATIVE PRONOUNS
which We can’t use that in this
type of clauses
Who To talk about people
When To talk about times/periods
Where To talk about places

4. RELATIVE CLAUSES
 Omission of the relative pronoun:
 Examples:
She loves the chocolate (which / that) I bought.
We went to the village (which / that) Lucy
recommended.
We can omit the relative pronoun when it is the object,
not the subject, of the relative sentence.
