  3. Grammar: Relative Clauses • Relative clauses combine two pieces of information into one sentence. • We use them to say exactly which people, things and places we are talking about. • Relative clauses are introduced by either relative pronouns or relative adverbs. • who, which, and that are relative pronouns. • where is a relative adverb. • who is for people, which is for things, and where is for places.

  4. Grammar: Relative Clauses

  5. Grammar: Relative Clauses • There are two types of relative clauses: subject and object. • In subject relative clauses, the relative pronoun is the subject of the verb in the clause. Ann is an interesting woman whosits across from me. (The relative pronoun ‘who’ refers to woman, and it is the subject of the verb sits.) • In object relative clauses, the relative pronoun is the object of the verb in the clause. Charlie is someonethat I trust. (The relative pronoun ‘that’ is the object of the verb trust, and I is the subject of the verb trust.)

  6. Grammar: Relative Clauses Subject Relative Clause In this case, the relative pronoun must be followed by a verb. Brad Pitt is an actorwhois married to Angelina Jolie. Samsung is a large companywhichmakes many electronic devices such as HD Televisions. Object Relative Clause In this case, the relative pronoun must be followed by either a noun or a pronoun. Angelina Jolie is an actress who*Brad Pitt is married to. HD Televisions are some of the many electronic devices which*Samsung makes. *NOTE: In object relative clauses, the relative pronoun can be omitted.

  7. Grammar: Relative Clauses • We use where (relative adverb) instead of a relative pronoun plus a preposition. • This often makes the sentence easier to understand. • This is the shopin which I bought my bike. • This is the shopwhere I bought my bike. • Seoul is the cityin which I live. • Seoul is the citywhere I live.

He loves to do extreme sports. • ambitious: • Lucy runs 15km everyday to train for a marathon. She’s an ambitious person. • decisive: • The decisive army general made very quick and smart decisions during the battle. • handy: • My new phone is so handy.

He’s a reckless driver. • tricky: • That question was tricky. It was difficult to answer.

  10. Strategy: Tag Questions • Tag questions are an interactive way of involving the other speaker in a conversation. • Speakers use tag questions either to check information or to ask someone to agree to or confirm what is said. • The meaning changes depending on the intonation. • Examples: • That new movie was excellent, wasn’t it? • You didn’t study for the exam, did you?
