A person who… a thing that/which… (relative clauses 1)


A relative clause is sentence that has who, that, which and whom.

We are going to look at who, that and which.

Who

(we use who for people, not things)

We have a new Maths teacher. She can speak French.

The two sentences become one with ‘who

She is replaced with -> who

We have a new Maths teacher who can speak French.

More relative clauses with ‘who‘ :

  • A burglar is someone who undergoes a robbery.
  • A snake is a reptile who is from the animal kingdom.
  • Does anybody have a friend who is called Lauren?
  • Do you know someone who can swim in the swimming gala?
  • The person who just rang me is my best friend.
  • The groom is the man who is marrying the bride.
  • The woman who is always walking up and down our street is my neighbour.

 

That

(we use that for things or people)

Thomas served us chicken. It was overcooked.

The two sentences become one with ‘that

It is replaced with -> that

More relative clauses with ‘that‘ :

  • I woke up early so that I could have enough time to eat breakfast.
  • Louisa was wearing sunglasses that were too big for her face.
  • A washing machine is an appliance that washes clothes.
  • Emma has her own personal chauffer that drives her everywhere she wants to go.
  • Jamie wants to go somewhere that is exotic.
  • I live in a house that is 300 years old.
  • I want to somewhere that has a lot of sun.
  • The bus driver that takes me to school is very rude.
  • I tried on the hat that I saw yesterday.

 

Which

(we use which for things, not people)

I found a good deal for a weekend getaway to the spa. It was for £150.

The two sentences become one with ‘which

It is replaced with -> which

  • I need a gold pair of shoes which will go with my outfit.
  • My brother wants a car which is a manual.
  • My cousin has a maths tutor which comes to the house.

 

Sometimes we can use who or that for the same sentence because who and that are both used for people.

  • The people who I work with are really nice.
  • The people that I work with are really nice.

 

Sometimes we can use that or which for the same sentence because that and which are both used for things.

  • Stephanie lives in house that is 350 years old.
  • Stephanie lives in a house which is 350 years old.
