Article Relative Clauses

There are various ways of supplying more information about a noun in English. Frequently we use adjectives (e.g.: a helpful teacher) and often other nouns (e.g.: a university teacher). Relative clauses are another very common way of supplying more specific information about a noun referring to a person, thing or group, e.g.:

The teacher who looked after our class today doesn’t normally work here.

The flowers that I bought yesterday have already died.

The book which she is referring to is no longer published.

In the examples the relative clauses are in bold. As the examples show, relative clauses are most commonly positioned immediately after the noun that they refer to, and often begin with a relative pronoun such as who, that or which. Who is used to refer to people, which is used to refer to things, and that is used to refer to people or things. Relative pronouns do not have masculine, feminine or plural forms. A relative pronoun like who or that can be used to refer to a man, a woman or a group of people, e.g.:

I met a woman/man who lives near your sister.

Do you know the young boy/girl that offered you a seat?

They were the builders who fitted our kitchen.

Relative clauses can also be used after some pronouns. They are quite common after indefinite pronouns such as something, someone, anything, anyone, everything and everyone, e.g.:

Anna is someone that I really admire.

Is there anyone who knows how this machine works?

Everyone who has worked with her will miss her very much.

Relative clauses are also sometimes used after words like some, many, much, all, or those which can function as pronouns, e.g.:

Like many who were taking the exam, I felt very nervous.

A small bar of chocolate was all that we had to eat.
