Relative Clauses Final Practice
Relative pronouns
They are used to link the relative clause with the noun
Who
: We use it for people. Subject or object pronoun
Whom:
We use it for people. Object pronoun
Which
: For things or animals. Subject or abject pronoun
Whose
: For people or things. Possessive
Reduced relative clauses
A relative clause that is not marked by an explicit relative pronoun or complementizer such as who, which or that.
Example: This is the man I saw.
Defining relative clauses
Qualify a noun and tell us exactly which person or thing is being referred to.
Example: The city where I live is much too crowded.
Punctuation: We do not use commas when writing defining relative clauses.
Example:
The girl who is talking to Mark is my sister. ✅
The girl, who is talking to Mark, is my sister. ❌
We only use THAT in defining relative clauses
Non-defining relative clauses
Give us more information about a noun and don't define or identify the noun
Are common in written English
We use commas when writing them.
We never use "That" in non-defining relative clauses
Example: We visited Hyde Park,
which is close to Buckingham Palace.
