→ The bar in Barcelona where I met my wife is still there. → I live in the city that / which I study in. We can sometimes use these question words instead of relative pronouns and prepositions. → The house whose roof is old belongs to me. → The woman whose car is a BMW is coming tonight. → The little girl whose doll was lost is sad. → The dog whose owner lives next door is over there. 'Whose' is always the subject of the relative clause and can't be left out. → The job (which / that) she applied for is well paid. → I visited the city (that / which) John comes from. → The country (which / that) he went to is very hot. → My brother met a woman (who / that) I used to work with. → The music (which / that) Julie listens to is good. If the verb in the relative clause needs a preposition, we put it at the end of the clause: I really love the new Chinese restaurant, which we went to last night.Last week I bought a new computer, which I don't like now.The photographer called to the Queen, who looked annoyed.Yesterday I called our friend Julie, who lives in New York.My mother's house, which I grew up in, is very small.My bicycle, which I've had for more than ten years, is falling apart.My sister, who I live with, knows a lot about cars.My boss, who is very nice, lives in Manchester.We can't drop the relative pronoun in this kind of clause, even if the relative pronoun is the object of the clause. We don't use 'that' in non-defining relative clauses, so we need to use 'which' if the pronoun refers to a thing, and 'who' if it refers to a person. Try another exercise about defining relative clauses, both subject and object here.Try an exercise about defining relative clauses, both subject and object here.
Try an exercise where the relative pronoun is the object here.The doctor (who / that) my grandmother liked lives in New York.The woman (who / that) my brother loves is from Mexico.The university (which / that) she likes is famous.
The bike (which / that) I loved was stolen.The police arrested a man (who / that) Jill worked with.John met a woman (who / that) I had been to school with.We went to the village (which / that) Lucy recommended.She loves the chocolate (which / that) I bought.Again, the clause can come after the subject or the object of the sentence. In this case we can drop the relative pronoun if we want to. Next, let's talk about when the relative pronoun is the object of the clause. Try an exercise where the relative pronoun is the subject here. The house which / that belongs to Julie is in London.The camera which / that costs £100 is over there.The man who / that phoned is my brother.The people who / that live on the island are very friendly.More examples (clause after the subject of the sentence): I sent a letter which / that arrived three weeks later.We bought a house which / that is 200 years old.I'm looking for a secretary who / that can use a computer well.We can't drop the relative pronoun.įor example (clause after the object of the sentence): The relative clause can come after the subject or the object of the sentence. We use 'who' for people and 'which' for things. (Everybody knows where London is, so 'which has some fantastic parks' is extra information).įirst, let's consider when the relative pronoun is the subject of a defining relative clause. I live in London, which has some fantastic parks.We don't need this information to understand the sentence. (If I don't say 'who lives next door', then we don't know which woman I mean).Ī non-defining relative clause gives us extra information about something. Defining and Non-definingĪ defining relative clause tells which noun we are talking about: → She lives in New York, which she likes. We can use relative clauses to join two English sentences, or to give more information about something. Report this ad See a list of all the exercises about relative clauses here.
