Relative PronounsSon oraciones subordinadas que van introducidas por uno de los

siguientes pronombres relativos:

Generalmente se utilizan para dar información del antecedente:

The woman who is wearing glasses is my teacher

Peter, who is coming with me to the party, is my best friend

why porque, por la que; el antecedente es normalmente una razón (reason)

Defining Relative ClausesSe utilizan para dar información clave y necesaria sobre el antecedente.

Sin esa información no sabríamos situar o comprender a qué persona o

cosa se está refiriendo.

The man who is close to your car is my uncle

El hombre que está junto a tu coche es mi tío

The house which is on the hill belongs to my grandad

La casa que está en la colina pertenece a mi abuelo

Si retiramos la oración de relativo (‘who is close to your car’ o ‘which is on the hill’)

no sabríamos a qué hombre o casa nos referimos

Ejemplos - Defining Relative ClausesPronombre Antecedente Función Ejemplos

who/that persona sujeto The doctor who/that operated on you lives in New York

whom persona complemento The teacher with whom you came is my aunt

which/that cosa sujeto y complemento

Los relativos who/whom/which/that se pueden omitir cuando son complementos (es decir, cuando van seguidos de sujeto)

The table (which/that) you bought is not good

The teacher (who) you came with is my aunt

Non-Defining Relative Clauses

Se usan para ampliar la información del antecedente o dar un dato extra, pero nunca para definirlo (como con las Defining), puesto que el antecedente ya está definido.

❖ Características;

➢ van entre comas

➢ nunca se omiten los relativos, aunque sean complementos (vayan seguidos de sujeto)

➢ nunca se utiliza el relativo ‘that’

My car, which was very expensive, is in the garage.

Mr McDonald, who is having a serious problem, is a good person

My father, with whom I had a very good time, is angry with me now

whose persona, cosa, animal

The boy who/that is wearing a blue t-shirt is my cousin

Defining Relative Clauses Non-Defining Relative Clauses

especificativas; definen el sujeto para saber de quién o qué se está hablando

explicativas; añaden información extra de un sujeto que ya está definido
