Relative Clauses
Mgr. Žaneta Janečková
RELATIVE CLAUSES
• Relative clauses tell us which person or
thing the speaker means.
• Relative pronouns: who(m), which, that,
whose.
• Who/that: refer to people
e.g. A customer is someone who /that
buys something from a shop.
• Which/ that: to refer objects/animals
e.g. The dog which/that ran away is hers.
• We can´t omit a relative pronoun when
there is not a noun or subject pronoun
between the relative pronoun and the
verb.
e.g. The man who /that lives on top floor is
a lawyer.
The man (who/that) I wanted to speak
to is a lawyer.
• Whose – is used instead of possessive
adjectives (my, her, etc.)
e.g. What´s the name of the woman
whose car you borrowed?
• Whom: - can be used when there is a
noun or subject pronoun between the
relative pronoun and the verb.
e.g. The man whom I wanted to speak is a
lawyer.
• We don´t usually use prepositions before
relative pronouns.
e.g. The man John is speaking to is his
uncle.

husband has just got a new job.
- can be replaced by that or omitted

my husband has just got a new job.
Identifying / Non-Identifying clauses
• Identifying clauses – are essential to the
meaning of the main sentences, they give
necessary information. There aren´t commas.
e.g. The dress (which/that) I bought was too
small.
• Non- Identifying clauses – aren´t essential to the
meaning of the main clauses, they give extra
information. We use commas.
• e.g. Mr Jones, who lives on top floor, is a doctor.
