Relative clauses 2
Lesson code: HSG4-27MB-CXRA-V
INTERMEDIATE
1 Presentation
There are two types of relative clause. Study the table below.
Important points
Type 1 relative clauses give necessary information. Without this information, we do not know which
person or thing somebody is talking about. For example, ... who is standing over there tells us which
woman the speaker is talking about. Without this clause, it is not clear who the speaker is referring to.
Type 2 relative clauses give extra information. Without this information, we still know which person or
thing somebody is talking about. For example, ..., who are always online is extra information about `my
friends'. Without this clause, it is still clear who the speaker is talking about.
Type 2 relative clauses must be separated from the rest of the sentence with a comma (,).
We cannot use that in Type 2 relative clauses:
This coffee, that which Joanne bought for me yesterday, tastes really good.
We cannot leave out who/which/where in Type 2 relative clauses:
This coffee, which Joanne bought for me yesterday, tastes really good.
