pronouns.
- Elicit when we can leave out the relative
pronouns.
a- Relative Pronouns as subject:
The woman who/that lives next door is a doctor.
Where is the cheese which/that was in the fridge?
* The pronouns who/which/that can be the subject
of a relative clause.
b- Relative Pronouns as object:
The woman who/whom/that I wanted to see was
away. You can get back the tax which/that you've
paid.
- Listen and take note.
Note: the pronouns which /that can be the object
of a relative clause.
c. Omission of relative pronouns:
- We can leave out the pronoun when it is not the
subject of the relative clause. (if the verb has a
preposition, it is not put before the pronouns).
Clauses without pronouns are very common in
informal English.
e.g: The woman Gary met knows your sister.
The dress Ann bought doesn't fit her very well.
Sometimes we can use a participle without a
relative pronoun or an auxiliary.
e.g: That man who was sitting next to Angela
never said a word.
