Reading strategies

Skimming - going over a text quickly to find what the text is about in general

Scanning - going over a text quickly to find specific information

Detailed information - read the paragraphs of a text for detailed info looking for synonyms, signal/linking words, specific words

Relative pronouns (havo)

• Whose = wiens/van wie (personen/dingen -> the school whose principal has left)

-> Whose car is that?

• Whom = verwijst naar persoon in combinatie met voorzetsel (direct naast whom)

-> With whom are you going to Paris? ;  About whom are you talking?; Next to whom are you sitting?; For whom are you shopping?

vs. Who are you sitting next to?

• Who = personen + huisdieren met naam

• Which = dingen (ook in combinatie met voorzetsel)

-> the thing about which you told me;  the job for which you applied

• That = personen / dingen (nooit met komma's; niet in combinatie met voorzetsel)

Relative pronouns (havo)

• That (personen/dingen) -> geen komma's

The man you saw is the killer = 1e voorkeur

The man who you saw is the killer. = 2e voorkeur

The man that you saw is the killer = iets informeler

• Which (dingen) -> kan met komma's!

The lesson, which was quite boring, finished at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. (met komma's = uitbreidend/extra info)

The lesson which she needed to attend started at 9 o'clock. (zonder komma's = beperkend/restrictive -> je bedoelt alleen deze les)
