RELATIVE CLAUSES
DEFINING
NONDEFINING
• When we want to give extra information about

the subject or the object of a sentence we
need to add extra clauses. These clauses are
often added on, or put inside a sentence and
are introduced by relative pronouns. These
relative pronouns help to make clear exactly
what, where or who the extra information is
referring to.
If you want to give more information about the

subject - or object - of a sentence
• You can use a relative pronoun to introduce the
extra information
• Like
– who
– which
– where
– what
– that
6
For example:
• She was the woman who had stolen my purse.

• The cream, which was already six days old, had
gone completely sour.
• We searched even in places where we’d already
looked.

RELATIVE PRONOUNS
• Who (that) • People

• Which (that) • Things & Ideas
• When • Time
• Where • Place
• Whose • Possession
• Why • reason
The relative pronoun allows you neatly to insert

information inside the same sentence.
• So
• you can use relative pronouns, in some cases, to
join two sentence strings
• Like this:
– She was the woman. She had stolen my purse.
– She was the woman who had stolen my purse.
9
Join sentences using a relative pronoun:
• That’s the product. I told you about it.

……………………………………………………
• We visited the city. I was born there.
……………………………………………………
• I don’t like that man. He works in the marketing
department.
……………………………………………………
Complete with a relative pronoun
• The man……..is waiting outside says he has an

appointment.
• The women……job you took has left her new job
and wants to come back here.
• The file …..I left on your desk has disappeared
• The reason ….. I can’t come is because I’m
working that day.
Defining relative clauses

non – defining relative clauses ?
• The extra information which is introduced by the

relative pronoun is necessary to the meaning of the
sentence . Defining relative clause
• The extra information is not necessary and can

simply give extra, non essential information.
Non-defining relative clause
Defining relative clauses
• The defining relative clause identifies and defines

the thing/place/person/reason or time talked about.
• It is necessary for the meaning:
- Example: He’s the man (who that) I met on the plane.
• Commas are not used
• You can omit (who) when the verbs in the main
clause and the relative clause have a different
subject.
• “that” (instead of which) can only be used for people
and things in defining relative clauses. (NOT non-
defining)
Other examples: Defining
• The summer is the time when we sell more of

our products
• The weather is (the reason) why I decided to
come home early.
• This is the street where I was born.
• That’s the boy whose father plays for Real
Madrid.
• It’s a book which tells you how to do marketing
Complete the sentences with a relative pronoun:

1.An environmentally-friendly product is a product.......will
not harm the environment when you see it.
2.It was in 2005……......the Kyoto Agreement on global
warming came into force.
3.Glass…........has been recycled can be used again.
4.Deforestation happens in an area ……..all the trees have
been cut down.
5.Rain…....…is polluted with chemicals from factories is
called acid rain.
6.A farmer ……farm is organic does not use harmful
chemicals to grow food.
7.The greenhouse effect is something …….happens when
the sun’s heat is trapped close to the Earth by pollution.
8.An ecologist is a scientist ……studies the environment.
Add a relative pronoun where it is necessary only.
1. Greenfield sites are places nothing has ever been

built.
2. Deforestation is a problem affects the whole world.
3. The bottles we recycled were made of brown glass
4. The green belt is an area of land around a city building
is not allowed.
5. The ecologist we saw on television was worried about
acid rain.
6. I always buy milk has been organically produced.
7. The man factory was polluting the river was fined over
£100,000.
NON-defining relative clauses
• The relative pronoun can’t be omitted

• In these sentences you can’t use that instead of
who/which
• The clause is written inside commas:
• Example: The regional sales manager, who is a
close friend of mine, has just been given a salary
rise of 20%.
• The information inside commas can be removed
without the sentence losing its meaning. (the
sentence makes sense without it)
Examples of
non-defining relative clauses:
• Her husband, who/whom I met for the first time

last night, works for IBM.
• The report on the French subsidiary, which I left
on your desk, needs to be rewritten.
• This part of the factory, where we make
components for conveyor belts, is the oldest part
of the plant.
• Last week I visited my aunt, who’s nearly 90
years old.
Adjective/Defining Clause

sentence
E.g. Miss Wong is very beautiful.
She teaches us English.
=> Miss Wong who teaches us
