Relative Pronouns

'Relative Pronouns' gebruik je als je extra informatie wilt geven over iets of iemand met behulp van een bijzin.

Relative pronouns

Relative pronoun verwijst naar:

that

who

whose

which

persoon, dier, ding

persoon

bezit

dier, ding

 

Relative Pronouns

'who' --> om te verwijzen naar mensen

'This is my best friend, who lives next door.'

'which' --> om te verwijzen naar dieren of dingen

'This is my bike, which is very old.'

Relative Pronouns

'whose' --> om aan te geven bij wie of wat iets hoort

'That's the friend, whose bike was stolen.'

'That's the bike, whose wheel disappeared.'

Relative Pronouns

'that' --> kan je in plaats van 'who' of 'which' gebruiken, BEHALVE als de bijzin met een komma begint.

(nooit 'that' na een komma)

'That's the friend that /who lives in Swansea.'

'That's the bike that / which is for sale.'

Onderstaande zin heeft comma's en dus mag je hier geen that gebruiken

In deze kun je de bijzin which is published in London ook weglaten. 

The Times ,which is published in London, is a daily newspaper.

The Times is a daily newspaper.

• Martin played tennis with Sophie, who was slightly injured.
• who kun je hier niet vervangen door that
• de bijzin/relative clause kun je weglaten.
• komma in de zin.

Martin played tennis with Sophie, who was slightly injured.

• Let op; we passen de zin een beetje aan:
• Martin played tennis with the girl who was slightly injured.
• Hier is 'who was slightly injured' essentieel om duidelijk te maken over welke Sophie het gaat en kan niet worden weggelaten. 
• who mag je hier dus wel vervangen door that
• Geen komma's in de zin!

In het Engels mag je een relative pronoun weglaten als:

de relative pronoun niet het onderwerp maar het object (lijdend- of meewerkend voorwerp) in de zin is.

• The book that I bought is interesting. 
• The book I bought is interesting

Niet the book, maar I is het onderwerp in de zin
