Grammar: relative pronouns

Quick overview

• Relative pronouns
• Used to join two sentences.
• who(m), whose, which, that, where
• Nederlands: die, dat, waar

Relative pronouns

Bij personen
--> who(m), that

• He is the teacher who always gives us bad marks. 
• That is the boy to whom I gave my book.

Whom is used as the object of a verb or preposition. 

Relative pronouns

People - possesive

Whose

This is Jack, whose brother has just won the lottery. 

Relative pronouns

Bij dingen/dieren
--> which, that

• That is the dog with which he was walking. 
  

Relative pronouns

Bij plaatsen
--> where

Let op! Het Nederlandse 'waar' (en samenstellingen: waarop, waarmee, etc) vertaal je niet naar het Engelse 'where'

• Dit is de boot waarmee ik heb gereisd. 
• This is the boat with which I have travelled. 

Defining vs non-defining

Defining clause: contains essential information 

The woman who used to babysit for us has just got married. (If we leave out 'the relative clause, we don't know which woman we're talking about)

Non-defining clause: gives us extra information (not essential)

Our former babysitter, who just got married last year, has just had her first child. 

Defining clauses

• NO commas are required at the beginning or end of the relative clauses
• We use 'who' for people and 'which' for things. We can use 'that' for people and things.
• The relative clause can come after the subject or object.

Examples:

It's not the kind of novel which/that appeals to me.

I know a boy whose father is a professional diver.

Defining clauses

The relative pronoun is the subject

That camera which/that costs $100 is over there.

The relative pronoun is the object 

I bought a camera which/that cost $100.

She has a son who/that is a doctor.

Defining clauses

The relative pronoun can be omitted if it is the object of the verb in the relative clause. 

- Just a quick note to thank you for the flower (which/that) I received.

verb + object -> received + the flower 

If the relative pronoun refers to the object (in this case the flower) you can leave it out.

Examples:

The car that she drives is over 10 years old.

The car she drives over 10 years old.

Note:

'When' and 'why' can also be omitted in the defining clauses

- I'll never forget the day (when) Geoff resigned. The reason (why) he left is still unclear.

NOTE: 'where' cannot be omitted: That's the shop where we bought our bed.

Non-Defining clauses

- 'that' cannot be used. we use 'who' for people and 'which' for things

-  the relative pronoun cannot be omitted.

- commas are required at the beginning and the end of the relative clause (except when the end of a relative clause is also the end of the sentence.

Example:His first novel, which was largely autobiographical, became an overnight success. (His first novel, was largely autobiographical, became an overnight success)

Non-defining clause

More examples:

Alan Smith, whose father is a professional driver, is the only boy in our class who can't even swim.

My boss, who is very nice, lives in Edinburgh.

Last week I bought a new computer, which I don't like anymore.

'Which' is used in non-defining relative clauses to refer to a whole clause:

He works 12 hours a day, which must be very tiring.

Grammar: demonstrative pronouns

Quick overview

• Aanwijzende voornaamwoorden
• this, that, these, those
  
• Nederlands: die, dat, deze
