GRAMMAR: Defining relative clauses
Defining relative clauses
● Defining relative clauses are used to identify which particular person, place or thing is being talked about. The defining relative clause is usually connected to the main clause by a relative pronoun such as who, which, that, where or when.
-We use who (and sometimes that) to refer to people;
which and that to refer to things and animals;
where to refer to places and when to times.
Whose is the possessive form of who.
-They affect the people who inhabit the region.
-An iceberg is a huge piece of ice which floats in the ocean.
-Areas that have a tundra climate include Russia and North America.
-Places where there is a tropical climate are near the Equator.
-The months when heavy rain falls follow months of dry weather.
-He’s the man whose daughter I met in Jordan.
