Grammar
Relative clauses
We use relative clauses to add information about something.
We make relative clauses with relative pronouns: (that, which, where, when, whose, who/whom).
These clauses can identify or tell us more about the noun placed before the relative clause:
The man, who lives in that flat, was arrested yesterday.
The film,that we watched last weekend, was too scary for me!
This island, which is home to many celebrities, is a closely-guarded secret among travel agents.
My son, who has worked as a doctor for twenty-five years, is retiring soon.
The cars, that are available for rent, are very modern and very expensive.
Relative clauses also help us communicate without repeating the same information:
Emily’s bike, which she bought last week, has already been stolen.
We can use a relative clause to shorten the idea that:
Emily bought a bike last week. Emily’s bike has been stolen.
