RELATIVE

CLAUSES

When do we use Relative Clauses?

With the help of Relative Clauses, your text

become more fluent, and helps avoid repeating words.

Give additional information about something, but

it’s not essential. These clauses are put in commas

For example: “My

brother , who lives in France, came to see me.

With the same example you can say that this is not

essential information, but something additional

It gives

detailed information defining a general term. These

clauses are not put in commas.

For example: “My brother who lives in

France came to see me”. It’s essential information

because we can “infer” that you have more than

one brother.

Like: She, He

(When

you replace Him, Her)
