Welcome everyone! It's been a while since we had to meet like this...

Last week in class...

... we discussed compound and complex sentences and you made a summary on paper of all the grammar topics you need to know for the Theme 5 and grammar test. 

I have all of those, but they're at school. I took a look at some of them, they looked good!

Lesson plan for today

Grammar: relative clauses

You know this is a part of the grammar you need to know for the test, but we haven't really practised yet. Now is the time! 

Any idea what a relative
clause is right now?

Relative clauses

Wanneer je extra informatie over iemand of iets wilt geven, kun je een betrekkelijk voornaamwoord gebruiken. Dit betrekkelijk voornaamwoord grijpt dan terug op het zelfstandig naamwoord dat eerder is genoemd.

I want the dress which the girl over there is wearing.

Relative clauses

Who: gebruiken bij personen. Which: gebruiken bij dingen.

That: gebruiken bij personen, dieren en dingen. 

Als je de bijzin kunt weglaten zonder dat de betekenis van de zin verandert, gebruik je who of which.

Als de bijzin nodig is om te begrijpen over wie/wat de zin gaat, dan kun je who/that/which weglaten.

Welk betrekkelijk voornaamwoord hoort bij de volgende groepen:

Personen

Dingen

Personen, dieren en dingen

which

that

who

Noteer de bijzin uit de volgende zin:

My friend, who is nineteen, loves driving her car.
