  1. Relative Clause修飾節(しゅうしょくせつ) Aims & Objectives • To understand how a relative clause is used in a sentence in Japanese • To be able to modify a noun using a relative clause • To be able to form a sentence in which a relative clause is used • To be able to identify a relative clause in a longer sentence (c) Kumi Casey

  2. Relative Clause修飾節(しゅうしょくせつ) What is a relative clause? 修飾節(しゅうしょくせつ)とは何ですか? A relative clauseis; • a subordinate clause that modifies a noun. • also called an adjective clause which gives extra informationabout the noun. i.e. I saw a film which was really scary. This is the book that I bought yesterday. (c) Kumi Casey

  3. Relative Clause修飾節(しゅうしょくせつ) 1)Howwe use a relative clause in a sentence? In English, we use arelative clauseto postmodify a noun. i.e. Mr Tanaka is the person (who is) drinking wine. I went to the restaurant where my friend is working. In Japanese, we use arelative clause to premodify a noun. i.e.田中さんはワインをのんでいる人です。 わたしは友だちが はたらいている レストランに行きました。 (c) Kumi Casey

  4. Relative Clause修飾節(しゅうしょくせつ) How to form a relative clause? これは絵です。(main sentence) ピカソが かきました。(extra information) これは ピカソがかいた絵です。 Extra information Noun <3 important rules> • Relative clause precedes the noun it modifies. • Use verb (short form)for a relative clause. • Use particle が for the subject of the relative clause if the subject is not the noun which is modified. Change particle は toが. (N.B. There are exceptional cases when はis used for comparison.) (c) Kumi Casey

  5. Relative Clause修飾節(しゅうしょくせつ) 2)Let’s try modifying nouns in Japanese! • When the modified noun is the subject of the relative clause, extra information without a relative pronoun(who/which/that) precedes the modified noun. Example) The person who is reading a book 本を よんでいる  人 1) The person who does not drink wine ワインをのまない人 2) The restaurant which is next to the station えきのとなりにあるレストラン (c) Kumi Casey
