RELATIVE CLAUSES

Dear students,

Today we are going to study relative clauses. Relative clauses are introduced by a relative pronoun:

WHO	people	This is the teacher who makes videos for her students🎬
WHICH	things	The car which is parked here belongs to my dad🚗
THAT	people or things in defining relative clauses	This is the teacher that makes videos for her students The car that is parked here belongs to my dad
WHERE	Place	Valladolid is the town where I was born👶
WHEN	Time	I’ll never forget the day when we met.😍
WHY	Reason	That is the reason why I want to learn English📚✈
WHOSE	Possession	The boy whose father is a cop never comes to class👮
WHOM	preposition + who	This is the guy with whom I am in love.💖 (This is the guy who I am in love with)

 There are two types of relative clauses: defining and non- defining.

DEFINING RELATIVE CLAUSES

1. They give ESSENTIAL information.
2. That can substitute who and which.
3. Who, which, that and when can be omitted.

These are the students who/that are studying Bachillerato.

These are the students (who/that) I teach.

NON-DEFINING RELATIVE CLAUSES

1. They give EXTRA information.
2. The relative clause is written between commas.
3. That cannot substitute who or which.
4. The relative pronoun can't be omitted.

These students, who are very nice, are studying Bachillerato.

As you see, relative clauses are quite simple. You shouldn't have any problem with them!
