answer.
What's London like? It's quite big, and it's very interesting.
NOT It's like quite
What is Amanda like? She's tall, attractive, and very funny.
NOT She's like tall ...

similar to / the same as.
What’s London like? It's like New York, but without the tall
buildings. (= It's similar to ...)

Writing and speaking
1 Relative clauses are used to tell us which person or thing we are talking
about. They make it possible to give more information
about the person or thing being spoken about.
The boy has gone to the beach. (Which boy?)
The boy who lives next door has gone to the beach.
The book is very good. (Which book?)
The book that I bought yesterday is very good.
This is a photo of the hotel. (Which hotel?)
This is a photo of the hotel where we stayed.
2 We use who to refer to people (and we can also use that).
The book is about a girl who marries a millionaire.
We use that to refer to things (and we can also use which).
What was the name of the horse that won the race?
3. When who or that is the object of a relative clause, it can be left out.
The person you need to talk to is on holiday.
The book I bought yesterday is very good.
But when who or that is the subject of a relative clause, it must be
included.
I like people who are kind and considerate.
I want a computer that is easy to use.

46

4. Which can be used to refer to the whole previous sentence
or idea.

I passed my driving test on my first attempt, which
surprised everyone.
Jane can't come to the party, which is a shame.
5 We use whose to refer to someone's possessions.

That's the woman whose dog ran away.
That's the man whose wife won the lottery.
6. We can use where to refer to places.

The hotel where we stayed was right on the beach.
We went back to the place where we first met.

47

Participles

* Participles after a noun define and
identify in the same way as relative
clauses.
That woman driving the red Porsche is my
aunt.
The men seen outside were probably the
thieves.
