Defining relative clauses
We use defining relative clauses to give information about the person or thing that we are talking about, it allows us to identify them.
To form a defining relative clause, we use a relative pronoun and a verb.
Relative pronouns :
| Person | Object | Reason | Place | Time | |
| Subject | that / who | that / which | |||
| Object | that / whom / who | that / which | why | where | when |
| Possesive | whose | whose |
Examples :
– The doctor who works at the hospital. (we are talking about one doctor in particular).
– She’s the girl whose house is very old. (we are adding detail to talk about the girl)
– The guitar that broke yesterday.
– It’s the reason why I’m coming.
– The park where I lost my dog.
– Do you remember that day when I found a wallet ?
