*Definition: (Định nghĩa đại từ quan hệ)
A Relative Pronoun stands for the proceeding noun or pronoun (antecedent) and introduces an adjective clause.e.g.:
-The man, who is standing over there, is my father.
- The table, which my mother bought yesterday, is beautiful.
1. General rubles:
| Antecedent Function | Persons | Things and Animals |
| Subject (Chủ từ) Object (Túc từ) Possessive (Sở hữu) | WHO WHOM WHOSE | WHICH WHICH WHOSE OF WHICH |
II. EXAMPLES:
1. Do you know the man who wrote these poems?
2.
a) My employer, whom I dislike, works in the next room.
(WHOM: object of DISLIKE)
b) Is that the man of whom you have been waiting?
(WHOM: object of FOR)
3. Alex Cook is a man whose opinions I respect.
That is the girl whose father works in the foundry.
4. Swimming, which is a sport, makes people strong.
5.
a) The flowers which you brought are beautiful.
(WHICH: object of BROUGHT)
b) That is the shop in which she works.
(WHICH: object of IN)
6. A tree whose branches (the branches of which/of which the branches) are dead should be cut down.
* It is much better to use a preposition phrase:
A tree with dead branches should be cut down.
*NOTES:
1. WHOM, WHICH and THATare usually omitted from restrictive (defining) clauses when they are the object of the verb in the clause, or of a preposition that does not stand before them.
- Daddy, this is the man (who/that) I want to marry.
- The flowers (which/that) you brought are beautiful.
- The men (whom/that) we voted for won the election.
2. WHICH may have a whole preceding clause as its antecedent. In the use, WHICH is equivalent to AND THIS/ THAT (+NOUN)
- He invited us to dinner, which (and this/that) was very kind of him.
- They won the medal at last, which (and this/that victory) delighted the school.
3. THE USE OF “THAT”
a) THAT may replace WHO, WHOM and WHICH in restrictive (defining) clauses (in the examples 1 and 5a above).
b) THAT is not used after the comma (,) in non-restrictive (non-defining) clauses or after prepositions.
- Air, which we breathe, is made up of many gases.
- The man to whom you spoke is the manager.
(The man that you spoke to is the manager.)
c) THAT should be used:
* After a mixed antecedent (person + thing or animal)
- I met the people, cattle and vehicles that went to market.
- The dancers and landscapes that he painted were very vivid.
* After Adjectives in the superlative and THE FIRST, THE LAST, THE ONLY, THE VERY……
- He is the kindest doctor that I’ve ever worked with.
- The last words that he spoke were: “Long live Vietnam!”
- John was the only student that didn’t pass the examination.
* After most Indefinite Pronouns: ALL, MUCH, LITTLE, ANY, NONE, NOTHING, ANYTHING, NOBODY, EVERYTHING…
- Have you got all that you need?
- Much that I have ever read is untrue.
- Much that I have ever read is untrue.
- I have never known anyone that is as lovely as our teacher.
- I love everything that she makes for me.
* After the opening IT IS/ WAS…. And the corresponding interrogative form.
- It was John that I was just talking to.
- Is it I that will be sacked by the boss?
