Today's planning

To do: 

Relative clauses/ Relative pronouns/ Relative adverbs

Goals: 

* You know what relative pronouns are

* You know how to use them

* You know when to (not) use a comma

Relative clauses?

*To give extra information WITHOUT starting a new sentence, using relative pronouns 

*Relative pronouns give us information about a person or thing that is mentioned before

The woman who lives next door works at the bank

The part of the city where loads of businesses have their  office

Welke 'relative pronouns' zijn er?

* Who (die) - gebruikt bij mensen

That man, who has very nice hair, stole my dog!

* Which  (dat)- gebruikt bij dieren en dingen

Do you see the sheep which has black wool?

* that (die/dat) - mensen, dieren, dingen

I don't like the man that stole my dog.

* which (wat) - om te verwijzen naar een hele zin

He can't read, which surprised me.

* Whose (van wie)- om bezit aan te geven

That is the girl whose dog I've stolen.

* whom (wie/die)-  voor mensen

To whom did you give my dog?

Relative adverbs

* when - als vervanging van 'in' / 'on which' - tijd

the day when we met him

* where - als vervanging van 'in' / 'on which' - plaats

The place where we met him

* why - als vervanging van 'for which' - rede

The reason why we met him.

Wel of niet weglaten?

*Je mag relative pronouns nooit weglaten wanneer er een werkwoord achter staat.

               I told you about the woman who lives next door.

              The apple which is lying on the table is not very pleasant.

*Je mag relative pronouns wel weglaten wanneer er geen werkwoord achter staat

              The apple (which) George lay on the table is very nice.

              The car (which) the bankrobbers escaped in was green.

Komma of geen komma?

Defining relative clauses geven gedetailleerde informatie. We hebben deze informatie nodig om te begrijpen over wie het gaat. Je gebruikt hierbij nooit een komma.

We gebruiken vaak relative pronouns om de defining relative clauses te introduceren

They’re the people who want to buy our house.

Here are some cells which have been affected.

They should give the money to somebody who they think needs the treatment most.

Do you know the girl who is talking to Tom: 5 meisjes maar slechts 1 praat met Tom

Do you know the girl, who is talking to Tom: slechts 1 meisje

Komma of geen komma?

non-defining relative clauses geven extra informatie over de persoon/ding in kwestie. Maar we hebben het niet nodig om de te begrijpen naar wie we refereren. Je gebruikt hierbij altijd een komma. Je mag hier het woord that niet gebruiken.

Clare, who I work with, is doing the London marathon this year.

Alice, who has worked in Brussels and London ever since leaving Edinburgh, will be starting a teaching course in the autumn.
