defining relative clause

PRESENTATION
A relative clause tells us more about people and things. It
usually starts with a relative pronoun.
Defining relative clauses give us essential information. Without
this information, people are not clear which person(s) or
thing(s) we are talking about.
Example:
– The teacher who taught me my first words in English is Mr
Vinh.
– He gave me the dictionary which you suggested.

PRESENTATION

Questions:
+ What is a relative clause?
+ What does it usually start with?
+ Why is a defining relative clause important?

PRESENTATION
The relative pronoun who or which can be the subject or the object
of the relative clause. We must use it when it is the subject of the
relative clause. We can omit it if it is the object.
Example:
– The man who is talking to the girl is bilingual in English and French.
S
→must use who
– The man who you met this morning is bilingual in English and
O
French.
→can omit who
