Road map

• Relative clauses 
• Alquin text II

Non-Restrictive relative clauses (commas):

• antecedent = person: who 
• antecedent = thing: which 
• antecedent = place: where
• antecedent = time: when 
• antecedent = reason: why
• no antecedent = what ('that which')

Restrictive relative clauses (no commas):

• antecedent = person: who or that, preference for who
• antecedent = thing: which or that, preference for that 
• antecedent = place: where
• antecedent = time: when 
• antecedent = reason: why
• no antecedent = what ('that which')

Prepositions 

Jonah, to whom I was talking earlier, just walked into the room. 

Johah, who I was talking to earlier, just walked into the room.

?

Jeremy, ...... I saw walking in the park, has just landed a billion-dollar deal for his company. 

You can leave out the relative pronoun if:

• it is a 'restrictive' relative clause'
• the pronoun does NOT relate to the subject
  
• there is a pronoun behind it

The flowers which he gave me were beautiful.

Persoonlijk: ik, jij, hij, etc.

Bezittelijk: mijn, zijn, onze, etc.

Wederkerend: me, je, zich, etc.

The flowers he gave me were beautiful.

Relative Clauses

whoever, whatever, wherever, whichever etc.

Je gebruikt de toevoeging '-ever' als je wilt zeggen 'wie dan ook','wat dan ook', 'waar dan ook'

• whatever: ongeacht wat dan ook.
• whichever: als je al een keus hebt gemaakt/als er al een selectie is gemaakt en er een beperkte keus is.

Relative Clauses

Shorter alternatives for relative clauses:

• use the infinitive (het hele werkwoord). Met name na 'the last, the only, of een overtreffende trap: 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 ....
