2. GRAMMAR: RELATIVE CLAUSES


 A Relative Pronoun stands for the preceding noun or pronoun (antecedent- tiền ngữ)
and introduces an adjective clause.

Antecedent People Things


Function
Subject WHO WHICH
Object WHOM WHICH
Possession WHOSE WHOSE

Examples:
o Do you know the man who wrote these poems?
o My employer, whom I dislike, works in the next room.
o Is that the man for whom you have been waiting?
o Alex Cook is a man whose opinions I respect.
o That is the girl whose father works in the foundry.
o Swimming, which is a sport, makes people strong.
o The flowers which you brought are beautiful.
o That is the shop in which she works.
o A tree whose branches are dead should be cut down.
NOTE:
1. WHOM, WHICH and THAT are usually omitted from restrictive (defining) clauses when they are
the object of the verb in the clause, or of a preposition that does not stand before them.
o Daddy, this is the man (whom/that) I want to marry.
o The flowers (which/that) you brought are beautiful.
o The men (whom/that) we voted for won the election.

2. WHICH may have a whole preceding clause as its antecedent. In this use, WHICH is
equivalent to AND THIS / THAT (+ NOUN).
o He invited us to dinner, which was very kind of him.
o They won the medal at last, which delighted the school.

3. THE USE OF “THAT”


• THAT may replace WHO, WHOM, and WHICH in restrictive (defining) clauses.
• THAT is not used after the comma in non-restrictive (non-defining) clauses or after prepositions.
o Air, which we breathe, is made up of many gases.
o The man to whom you spoke is the manager.
(OR: The man that you spoke to is the manager.)
• THAT should be used:
- after a mixed antecedent (person + thing or animal) N hỗn hợp
o I met the people, cattle and vehicles that went to market.
o The dancers and landscapes that he painted were very vivid.

- after Adjectives in the superlative and THE FIRST, THE LAST, THE ONLY, THE VERY...
o He is the kindest doctor that I’ve ever worked with. so sánh nhất và các the first the
o The last words that he spoke were: “Long live Viet Nam!” last...

o John was the only student that didn’t pass the exam.

- after most indefinite Pronouns : ALL, MUCH, LITTLE, ANY, NONE, NOTHING,
ANYTHING, NOBODY, EVERYTHING… sau các đại từ bất định
o Have you got all that you need?
o Much that I have read is untrue.
o I’ve never known anyone that is as lovely as our teacher.
o I love everything that she makes for me.

- after the opening IT IS / WAS..., and the corresponding interrogative form.


o It was John that I was just talking to.
o Is it I that will be sacked by the boss?
4. RELATIVE ADVERBS
When an adverb like WHERE, WHEN, WHY introduces an adjective clause, it is called a
Relative Adverb.
● WHEN: AT/ON/IN + WHICH (for time)
● WHERE: AT/ON/IN + WHICH (for place)
● WHY: FOR WHICH (for reason)
o That is the village where (in which) I used to live.
o Sunday is a holiday, when (on which) most people rest.
o There is every reason why (for which) you should come on time.

Relative clauses with a participle


• ACTIVE
o There are delays this morning for people travelling to work.
(= people who are travelling to work)
o A lorry carrying concrete pipes has overturned.
(= a lorry which was carrying pipes)
o The path leading to the church is narrow.
(= the path which leads/led to the church)
Ø We do NOT use the active participle for a single action in the past.
o The police want to interview people who saw the accident.
(NOT: people seeing the accident)
• PASSIVE
o I have a message for people delayed by the traffic chaos.
(= people who are being delayed)
o We noticed a pile of stones left in the road.
(= stones which had been left there)
o I like food sold in supermarkets

Relative clauses with a to-infinitive

(= the only person who wrote a letter of thanks)
Here are some more examples.
o The guest on our show is the youngest golfer to win the Open.
o Emma Thompson is the most famous actress to appear on stage here.

• We can use a to-infinitive with these words: first, second, …, next and last; only;
and superlatives (youngest, most famous).
• We can leave out the noun (except after only) if the meaning is clear.
The captain was the last to leave the sinking ship.
