Hello everyone, today I'm sharing my computer screen with you to talk about relative clauses.
00:00:00
Now, there are two different types of relative clauses in English.
00:00:07
Defining relative clauses and non-defining relative clauses.
00:00:11
Defining relative clauses are used to give sensual information about a person or a thing or a place or a time that has been previously mentioned.
00:00:21
Now, the relative pronouns we use are who or that to talk about people, which or that
00:00:30
to talk about things, whose to talk about possession, where to talk about places, and
00:00:39
when to talk about time.
00:00:47
Who or that to talk about people.
00:00:56
We have two different types of examples here.
00:00:58
We'll see why.
00:01:01
James was the man who or that arrived late to the meeting.
00:01:03
as you can see we do not use commas here to talk about to introduce a relative
00:01:06
clause now we can use who or that James was the man who that I invited to the
00:01:16
party now these two relative clauses can be this in this example the relative
00:01:23
pronoun can be omitted as they are not the the subject of invited to the party
00:01:28
the subject is I. So whenever we have a subject afterwards, after the relative pronoun, we
00:01:35
can omit the relative pronoun. As you can see here, there is no subject between the
00:01:42
relative pronoun and the verb because this relative pronoun is the subject of arrives
00:01:49
late to the meeting. Which is used to talk about things. That is a sport which or that
00:01:55
my brother plays. My brother is the subject of plays, so we can omit it. And that is for
00:02:02
which or that is played indoors. In here, there is no subject between the relative pronoun
00:02:09
and the verb, so we cannot omit it. Again, we can use which or that.
00:02:14
Whose, where and when can never be omitted. That is the player whose team is top of the
00:02:21
league. Now, this whose can be translated as cuyo. Where is to talk about places. Land
00:02:27
Sunday is the place where I live, and when is used to talk about time.
00:02:35
Sunday is the day when I play tennis.
00:02:41
In non-defining relative clauses, who and which can never be omitted,
00:02:47
and that cannot be used instead.
00:02:56
Now, non-relative clauses are used to give extra or non-essential information
00:03:02
about a person, a thing, or a place, or a time
00:03:07
that has been previously mentioned.
00:03:10
They are always between commas.
00:03:13
In this example here,
00:03:16
James, who was born in London,
00:03:18
lived in Manchester for a long time.
00:03:21
It's missing.
00:03:25
Which is used to talk about things.
00:03:28
Tennis, which is my favourite sport,
00:03:32
is a very old game.
00:03:34
Who's to talk about possession?
00:03:37
John, whose team is top of the league, is a very good player.
00:03:39
And where it is used to talk about places.
00:03:45
London, where the Olympics were held in 2012, is a great city.
00:03:47
When to talk about time.
00:03:52
Yesterday, when I played tennis, was a warm day.
00:03:55
Now, if we do not give this extra information, nothing happens to the sentence.
00:03:59
Yesterday was a warm day.
00:04:05
London is a great city.
00:04:07
John is a very good player.
00:04:09
Tennis is a very old game.
00:04:11
James lived in Manchester for a long time.
00:04:15
So, this relative clause gives extra information.
00:04:19
That's why it's between commas.
00:04:25
Remember, we can never omit the relative pronoun.
00:04:27
Now, if you have any doubts, please go to OneNote, Unit 7.
00:04:30
and there you can find all the information about relative clauses if
00:04:39
you still have some doubts please ask thank you
