Relative pronouns help add extra information about the noun they follow without starting a new sentence.
Here are short points on using relative pronouns to join sentences with relative clauses:
1. Relative Pronouns: Use who, whom, whose, which, and that to join sentences.
o Who: Refers to people (subject).
"The girl who sings well won the contest."
o Whom: Refers to people (object).
"The author whom you mentioned is famous."
o Whose: Indicates possession.
"The man whose car was stolen is my neighbor."
o Which: Refers to animals and things.
"The book which is on the table is mine."
o That: Refers to people, animals, and things (restrictive clauses).
"The song that she sang was beautiful."
2. Identifying the Antecedent: The noun being described by the relative clause.
o "The car that is red is mine." (Car is the antecedent.)
3. Restrictive vs. Non-Restrictive Clauses:
o Restrictive: Essential information, no commas.
"The house that has a blue door is mine."
o Non-Restrictive: Additional information, with commas.
"My house, which has a blue door, is very old."
4. Omission of Relative Pronouns: Can omit in restrictive clauses when it's the object.
o "The book (that) I borrowed was excellent."
5. Combining Sentences:
o Original: "She met a man. He is a famous writer."
o Combined: "She met a man who is a famous writer."
6. Positioning: Place the relative clause immediately after the noun it describes.
o "The teacher who lives next door is friendly."
By following these points, you can effectively join sentences with relative clauses for clearer and more detailed communication.
