Relative clauses

Relative pronouns

WHO

WHICH 

THAT 

Ø 

We use relative pronouns to link two sentences together:

The man works at the supermarket.

He is our neighbour.

-> The man who works at the supermarket is our neighbour.

Who

Who  refers to PEOPLE:

This is the girl who helped me

There were some people who made a complaint.

Which

Which refers to THINGS or ANIMALS:

This is the house, which he built himself.

I gave him a letter, which he quickly put in his pocket.

The match, which was cancelled, was on Saturday.

That

That can be used in stead of who or which

BUT only if there is no comma in front!

The cat which was lost has been found.

The cat that was lost has been found.

The cat, which was lost, has been found.

The cat, that was lost, has been found.

Ø (nothing)

We use Ø  (nothing) if the sentence is still correct without who/which or that. 

That is the case if the word it refers to is NOT the subject of the sentence.

The book  Ø  he bought is great.

he is the subject , not book, so Ø 

This is the boy _____ had an accident.

1. who
2. which
3. Ø

1. who
