Relative Clauses (Intermediate )
Relative Clauses (Intermediate )

Defining Relative Clauses
It's considered bad writing style to use very short sentences:
I met the man. He works in the bank.
I bought the coat. It was in the shop window.
I met the man. Susan loves him.
I bought the coat. Susan wanted it.
In the first two sentences, the man and the coat are the SUBJECT of the second sentence.
In the last two sentences, the man and the coat are the OBJECT of the second sentence.
We use relative pronouns to join two short sentences to make a longer sentence.
Who = people That/which = things Where = places
The combined sentences plus the relative pronoun is called a relative clause.
Person/thing = subject
I met the man who works in the bank. I bought the coat that was in the shop window.
Person/thing = object
I met the man who Susan loves. I bought the coat that Susan wanted.
