Teoria – Explicacion y Ejemplos Ingles Relative Clauses
Relative clauses are one of the trickier parts of English grammar, but once you get the hang of them, they’re not so bad. A relative clause is a clause that adds extra information about something without starting a new sentence. For example, the clause «which I bought yesterday» in the sentence «The laptop, which I bought yesterday, is on the table» is a relative clause. It modifies the noun «laptop» by telling us which laptop it is.
Relative clauses usually come after the noun they modify, but they can also come before it. For example, the sentence «I’m looking for a laptop that I can use for school» has a relative clause («that I can use for school») before the noun («laptop»).
There are three main types of relative clauses in English: defining relative clauses, non-defining relative clauses, and reduced relative clauses. Each type has a different function and is used in a different way.
Defining relative clauses
A defining relative clause is a clause that defines or identifies the noun that it modifies. In other words, it’s essential to the sentence. For example, in the sentence «The laptop that I bought yesterday is on the table,» the relative clause «that I bought yesterday» is essential because it tells us which laptop we’re talking about. If we removed the relative clause, the sentence would be «The laptop is on the table,» and we wouldn’t know which laptop it is.
Defining relative clauses are always placed immediately after the noun they modify. They can be introduced by the relative pronouns «who,» «that,» and «which,» or by the relative adverbs «when,» «where,» and «why.»
Non-defining relative clauses
A non-defining relative clause is a clause that adds extra information about a noun without defining or identifying it. In other words, it’s not essential to the sentence. For example, in the sentence «My brother, who is a doctor, is coming for dinner,» the relative clause «who is a doctor» is non-defining because it doesn’t identify which brother we’re talking about. The sentence would still make sense without the relative clause: «My brother is coming for dinner.»
Non-defining relative clauses are always placed after the noun they modify. They are introduced by the relative pronouns «who,» «whose,» «that,» and «which,» or by the relative adverbs «when,» «where,» «why,» and «how.»
Reduced relative clauses
A reduced relative clause is a relative clause that has been shortened by leaving out the relative pronoun or adverb. For example, the sentence «The laptop I bought yesterday is on the table» has a reduced relative clause («I bought yesterday»). We can tell it’s a reduced relative clause because the word «that» is missing. (The full sentence would be «The laptop that I bought yesterday is on the table.»)
Reduced relative clauses are less formal than full relative clauses, and they’re more common in spoken English. They can be used with all types of relative clauses.
