LET'S REVIEW RELATIVE CLAUSES!!!!

IMPORTANT THINGS TO REMEMBER:

RELATIVE PARTICLES:
  • We use relative pronouns and adverbs to introduce relative clauses.
  • They have the same form than interrogative pronouns.
  • They are also conjunctions since they are used to join sentences.
  • They refer back to nouns and pronouns which are mentioned before. 
  • These nouns and pronouns are called the antecedent.
  • Relative particles are positioned close to their antecedents.

  • "That" is not used in non-defining relative  clauses.
  • "Who, that, and which" can be omitted in defining relative  clauses if they are not the subject of the relative clause.

    • We use commas to separate a non-defining relative clause from the main clause.
