RELATIVE CLAUSES (revision)
• Who, whom always refers to people.
• Whom is normally used as the object of a
relative clause.
• Who can be used as the subject or object of a
relative clause.
EX: He is the man who/whom I saw last night.
The girl who was injured in the accident is
now in hospital.
RELATIVE CLAUSES (revision)
• Which always refers to things.
• “Which” can be used as subject, object of a verb or
object of a preposition.
EX: I don’t like stories which have unhappy endings.
(which is used as the subject)
These are two houses which he owns.
(which is used as the object)
This is the house in which he was born.
(which is used as the object of a preposition)
RELATIVE CLAUSES (revision)
• That can refer to either people or things.
• “That” can function as subject, object of a verb or
object of a preposition.
EX: This is the boy that sang the solo last night.
(that is used as the subject)
These are the games that the children are playing.
(that is used as the object)
It was the first bed that she had ever slept in.
(that is used as the object of a preposition)
*Note: We have to use “that” in these below cases:
• After a mixed antecedent
EX: The old man and the dog that passed my house
yesterday made much noise.
• After a superlative word
EX: This is the most beautiful dress that I have.
• After these words: all, every, very, only, first, last,
much, little, some, any…
• After interrogative pronouns
EX: Who is she that you say hello?
• We mustn’t use “that” if there is a comma before
“that”.
Omission of relative pronouns
• Have you found the keys which you lost?
=> Have you found the keys you lost?
• The woman who I want to see is beautiful.
=> The woman I want to see is beautiful.
• This is the best meal that I have ever eaten.
=> This is the best meal I have ever eaten.
NOTES
• In a defining relative clause, we can omit the
relative pronoun that refers to the object.
Ex: The woman who I want to see is beautiful.
=> The woman I want to see is beautiful.
• We can also leave out the relative pronoun
after a superlative.
Ex: This is the best meal that I have ever eaten.
=> This is the best meal I have ever eaten.
BE CAREFUL!!!
1. In a defining relative clause, we can not omit
the relative pronoun that refers to the subject.
EX: The woman who lives next door is a doctor.
2. In a non-defining relative clause we must
keep the relative pronoun.
EX: Tom, whom I talked to on the phone last night,
is an architect.
3. We can not omit the relative pronoun if there
is a preposition before that relative pronoun.
EX: This is the man about whom I have told you
