RELATIVE CLAUSES - RELATIVE PRONOUNS - RELATIVE ADVERBS



We use relative clauses to give additional information about something without starting another sentence.
·By combining sentences with a relative clause, your text becomes more fluent and you can avoid repeating certain words.
· A relative adverb can be used instead of a relative pronoun plus preposition. This often makes the sentence easier to understand.
· Subject and object pronouns cannot be distinguished by their forms - who, which, that are used for subject and object pronouns. You can, however, distinguish them as follows:
If the relative pronoun is followed by a verb, the relative pronoun is a subject pronoun. Subject pronouns must always be used.
The apple which is lying on the table

If the relative pronoun is not followed by a verb (but by a noun or pronoun), the relative pronoun is an object pronoun. Object pronouns can be dropped in defining relative clauses, which are then called Contact Clauses.
