Relative clauses

Relative clauses : give extra information, used to avoid repetition. 

We often use relative pronouns (e.g. who, where, that, which, whose) to introduce relative clauses.

Relative clauses

Restrictive relative clauses:  you need them in the sentence for it to make sense. They give you essential information. 

NO COMMAS!!!

Non-restrictive relative clauses: They give extra information, which isn’t absolutely necessary. We use COMMAS to separate them from the rest of the sentence. 

Relative clauses

Non-Restrictive relative clauses (commas):

• antecedent = person: who 
• antecedent = thing: which 
• antecedent = place: where
• antecedent = time: when 
• antecedent = reason: why
• no antecedent = what ('that which')

Relative clauses

Restrictive relative clauses (no commas):

• antecedent = person: who or that, preference for who
• antecedent = thing: which or that, preference for that 
• antecedent = place: where
• antecedent = time: when 
• antecedent = reason: why
• no antecedent = what ('that which')
