  By Esther Curiel
Relative clauses
are used to tell us
which person or
thing we are
talking about.
It makes it
 possible to give
more information
about the person
  on thing being
  spoken about
The boy has gone into hospital
• Which boy?
• The boy who lives next door
  has gone into hospital.
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.
Defining relative
    clauses give
  information to
help us identify a
 specific person,
  animal or thin.
