  7. Gramatika: Defining and Non defining relative clauses Defining relative clauses provide information which is essential to the meaning of the sentence. No commas are used. Students who cheat should be punished. Non-defining relative clauses provide additional information (non essential to the meaning of the sentence). They are put between commas. The relative pronouns/adverbs cannot be omitted; neither can we use that instead of which. Dr Miller, who is the Head of the Department, will attend the reception.

  8. RELATIVE CLAUSES are introduced by relative pronouns: WHO, WHOM, WHICH, THAT, WHOSE and relative adverbs WHERE, WHEN, WHY WHO/THAT/WHICH – when they refer to the S of the V, they cannot be omitted – She’s the girl who lives next door. WHO/WHOM/THAT/WHICH – When they refer to the O of the V, they can be omitted. WHOM is used informal speech or after prepositions. • I know the girl (who/whom/that) you are talking about. WHOSE – It refers to possession. It cannot be omitted. • I have an uncle whose name is Archibald. WHERE– refers to place. It cannot be omitted. • The village where I grew up is very small.
