Formulas and
Examples of Relative Clause
To pursue is
also quite facilitated because the relative clause is a collection of words
that can be directly understood as an explanation of the previous sentence.
There are five types of connecting words used in this phrase, Who, Whom, Whose,
Which, and That.
Who is used
as a substitute for people as subjects.
Example:
The girl who
is walking is my little sister.
(The girl
who was walking was my sister)
Whom is used
instead of the person as the subject.
Example:
The girl
whom I met yesterday is my little sister.
(The girl I
met yesterday was my sister)
Whose used
as a substitute belongs.
Example:
I met my
little sister whose bag is red.
(I met my
sister who has a red bag)
Which is
used instead of noun.
Example:
This is the
music which I always listen.
(This is the
music I always listen to)
That is used
as a substitute for people and things.
Example:
The girl
that I talked will married next month.
(The girl
I'm talking about gets married next month)
Relative Clause Usage Indicator in Sentence
From some examples of the above
relative clause sentences, we can develop them into more complex sentences.
However, to make it easier to identify the use of the five pronouns above, we
can use simple formulas. Problem exercises also describe two different
sentences that must then be connected in a sentence with a relative clause.
Some of the formulas include the following: Notice in the first sentence, if
the word indicates the human subject, then the one used as the conjunctive word
is If the first sentence shows the human subject followed by a sepan word such
as from, by, to, and such, then the use is however the use of this word is
rarer because usually used is the who formula. If the first sentence indicates
a human or animal, and then followed by a noun, then use If the noun is not to
show humans, then the one used is How to identify the pronoun is also easier by
observing the signs mentioned above.
Example Relative Clause Problem
Problem exercises are a great way
to hone skills in understanding and using relative clauses. In addition,
training can overcome confusion because it can not distinguish the right kind
of pronoun to connect two sentences. Here is an example of a relative clause. I
met a woman ... is angry to everybody. The girl ... I asked gave me some cake.
I know the boy ... toy is pricey. I'll show you the book ... she gave to me.
The old man with ... you came to the school is my uncle. In the first sentence,
the word used is who. Because explaining the subject as human in front of him.
The second sentence uses whom. The third sentence uses its. The fourth sentence
uses which, and the last sentence uses whom. Well, so are some practice
questions that can be searched again to hone the ability to use relative clause.
