Relative Clauses

Shorter alternatives for relative clauses:

• use the infinitive (het hele werkwoord). Especially for superlatives. John was the last one to arrive 
• use a continuous form (= -ing vorm) or a past participle (voltooid deelwoord): The man sitting next to Jamy ...
• use an adjective: The people responsible for ....

Relative clauses

We use relative clauses to join sentences and/or to give more information. 

(that, which, who, whose)

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

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.

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