    Study Notes

    Relative Clauses

    • A relative clause is defined by its ability to provide additional information about a noun in the sentence.
    • Relative pronouns are used to introduce relative clauses and include words such as: who, which, that, whom, and whose.

    Function of Relative Pronouns

    • The function of a relative pronoun in a relative clause is to replace the noun in the sentence and link the relative clause to the main clause.

    Identifying Relative Pronouns

    • The following are not relative pronouns: me, him, her, us, them.

    Restrictive and Non-Restrictive Clauses

    • In the sentence 'The book that I bought yesterday is interesting,' the relative clause is used to provide essential information about the noun 'book', making it a restrictive relative clause.
    • A non-restrictive relative clause is used to provide additional, non-essential information about a noun and is typically set off with commas, such as in the sentence: 'The book, which is on the table, is interesting.'
