Relative clauses

Relative Clauses

We can use relative clauses to join two English sentences, or to give more information about something.

To so: who, which, that, whom, whose.

We use who and whom for people, and which for things.

We use that for people or things.

We use relative pronouns to introduce relative clauses, which tell us more about people and things.

The relative pronouns or adverbs refer to the person, object or place of the main sentence (what is known as antecedent) and replaces it.

To so: when, where, why

For exaple:The book that is on the table is expensive

That is the girl who I met last week .

he film which I saw at the cinema last night is boring .

That's the restaurant where we met for the first time.

I remember the day when we first met.

Tell me (the reason) why you came home late.
