Relative Clauses

 

  • Relative Clauses

  • Relative clauses* are added to main clauses to provide additional information that is necessary to understand the meaning of the sentence. Relative clauses begin with a relative pronoun or relative adverb.

    The apartment that Sam bought is near public transportation.
    (There are many apartments near public transportation, the relative clause that Sam bought shows a specific apartment.)

  • They want an apartment that is pet friendly.He's the man to whom I sold my house.
    That's the house where Jack grew up.The architecture is why we want to buy this house.
  • *Remember! There are two types of clauses: dependent and independent.  A relative clause is a type of dependent clause because it cannot function as a sentence by itself.
